Activating a Committee Group in MemberFuse from netFORUM

Once your Social Community is set-up and configured, you are able to activate a group based on a Committee within netFORUM.  Once activated, a group is created in your Social Community based on this Committee.  This means that each time an individual is added to a Committee, the individual will also be added to that group in Social Community after the data synchronization process completes 24 hours later.  All of the group benefits described in Activating a Member Type Group in MemberFuse from netFORUM are enabled for Committee Groups that are created as well.  Activating a group for a Committee is beneficial, for example, for those Committees that desire to share information within the Social Community such as committee announcements or resources.

To create a group based on a Committee:

1. Go to the Committee profile in the Committee module.
2. Click the Activate in Social Communitybutton (this button’s alt text will change to Deactivate once activated).
3. Each member of this Committee will also be added to the committee group in the Social Community when they log-in to the community for the first time.

Tip: The group membership within the Social Community will not occur until the individual logs-in for the first time. When a Member Type, Committee or Event group is activated from a profile in netFORUM, the initial owner of the group will be the person activating the group if he/she also has a corresponding eWeb account that is linked to MemberFuse the moment the group is activated. If no eWeb account has been activated and linked to MemberFuse prior to group activation, group ownership will default to the MemberFuse Social Community administrator and the group will be a private group by default until updated by its owner.
