There are quite a number of categories and groupings of categories. This could be confusing, so here is an overview:
Home Page
This has links to categories for each HCL product covered in this developer community:
- HCL Connections
- HCL Digital Experience
- HCL Domino
- HCL Leap
- HCL Sametime
- HCL Total Experience
- HCL Volt MX
- HCL Volt MX Go
Products
Each product has links to various external sites as well as two specific subcategories:
Tips
These are intended as posts about useful best practices or recommendations from experts. As a result, a minimum trust level is required to post tips. These are intended as answers to problems developers or admins may encounter. So there is not the option to mark a tip as solved.
Replies could cover alternative approaches or updates that the approach is no longer valid or no longer required for a specific product version.
Tips are solutions and so have a higher weighting than forums when searching for topics in the relevant product.
Forums
These are intended for questions with or without an answer. If a good solution is provided, remember to mark it as solved. Admins also have the ability to mark a question as solved.
Obviously forum questions may or may not have a solution, may match criteria but not be relevant, or may be out-dated.
In order to improve quality of initial topic post content, forum categories also have a template prompting for relevant information.
Cross-Product Categories
Under Categories in the navigation, you can also access various cross-product categories:
- Blogs syndicated from CollaborationToday or entered by authorised bloggers.
- Events which can be added by authorized individuals, with a calendar. Different event types have different coloring, as outlined in the about doc.
- Presentations, where people can add presentations they have delivered at user groups, webinars and other conferences. If you are not the author, ensure you have rights to share the presentation.
- Research Material, for whitepapers, case studies, cheat sheets, guides etc. This is intended for collateral that developers and administrators can use to support their work.
- Jobs / Opportunities that are relevant to the products covered in this community.
- Site Enhancements that we’ve deployed.
- Site Tips to enhance your user experience.
- Site Feedback for our team to consider.
- General as a catch-all.
There may be other categories here that are restricted to certain groups. You will only see them if you have access.
There is also a link All categories to see all the categories and subcategories.
