We're going to show you how to add and amend Connections. Connections are fantastic for sharing different services available to community residents. Once you publish a connection it will appear in the resident app.
Before you get started
You will need to have the correct permissions set in order to edit connections. To check this, navigate to:
Settings ➡️ Admins ➡️ Edit your chosen admin ➡️ Select Roles & Permissions ➡️ Scroll down to access detail ➡️ Expand Community information and ensure that connections has full access selected.
Adding a connection
Step 1 - Let's begin
Login to the admin console and navigate to community info ➡️ connections. Here you will be presented with two tabs, one for active connections and another for archived ones.
Each tab has a community filter, which is handy to see which connections belong to which communities. Beneath this the connections appear as a row with its name and description.
In addition to the above fields each connection also has two buttons, one to archive it and the other to edit it.
Step 2 - Adding a connection
To add a connection, click on the blue add connection button in the top right-hand corner.
You will need to enter in the following (and asterisks denotes a mandatory field):
Title*: the name of the connection
Description*: what is the connection for and why would the residents use it
Email: how to contact the connection provider
Phone Number: how to contact the connection provider
URL: can provide an external web address for more information
Target Communities*: here is where you select which communities to show the useful link in
File upload: can provide a file for residents to download about the connection
When you're ready you can click on this blue submit button and your connection will become immediately visible to residents in the app.
Editing a connection
As mentioned above, each connection item has an edit button, which allows you to update its details. Click on the edit button to see the information and change it.
