Do this

The following are some general guidelines for using Intacct Collaborate.

• Participate by asking and answering questions, and sharing information.
• Keep your posts relevant to work.
• Keep it brief.
• Post rather than send a low-priority email.
• Use Intacct Collaborate to address a wider audience and get feedback.

• Think about who can see your post.

Examples of good posts:

What not to post

Intacct Collaborate is a tool to move your business forward. The following are some guidelines of what not to post.

• Post only content that you'd be comfortable sharing with your HR team or executives.
• Keep your posts concise and to the point.
• Opt for in-person conversations instead of using text.
• Refrain from sharing confidential information on profiles or public groups.
• Ensure that your posted messages are relevant to your business.
• Avoid sending the same message to multiple people.

Examples of not-so-good posts:

• Was out late last night; do not think I’ll get much done today.

• Check out the view from my new office.

• Who wants to go for happy hour after work?

Tips

If you create a public group, anyone can join, and posts can be seen by whoever views the group.

Posts made in a private group can only be seen by members who have been added by the group owner.

If you make a post on a record, only users who have full or read access to that record can see your post.

Before you post, ask yourself:

• "Who else would benefit from this?"
• "Is this relevant to our business?"
