Categories
Categories provide a collection of groups related by the category’s topic.
Categories simplify navigation of your ChatSpace community.
Administrators create the categories as needed by the community, but users
create and delete the groups under those categories.
Categories are accessed through the Community screen.
Groups
Groups allow users to gather together for a chat or forum. The first user to
enter a group is designated as the Moderator. See the ChatSpace Room
Moderator’s Guide for a discussion of the capabilities of a room moderator.
Users also can create a group, but cannot create a category. The user who
creates a group is allowed to delete that group.
Creating a Group
You can create a group under a category in your community.
To create a group:
1. In the Community screen, click on the link for the desired category.
2. In the groups list for the category, click Create a new Group in this
category.
