0. Before Beginning

Before you begin working with Communities, there are some important things to note:

• If you are not currently a CONNECTED User, you have read-only access to most of Communities. To access private communities that interest you, ask questions or participate in product- and industry-related conversations, or to have the ability to upload or download files, you need to become a CONNECTED User and sign in to the site.
• Before posting anything, use the site Search to see if something similar has been previously posted.
• Do not post any internal-only or confidential information on the site.
• Always add appropriate tag (aka keywords) your entries. This greatly adds to the search functionality of the entire site. Adding tags is very simple to do -- just type in your keywords in the Tags box below your content box, or get some tag suggestions via the "Select Tags" button.
