Creating Groups from Jive Anywhere

Use Jive Anywhere to create a group in your community.

If you already have Jive Anywhere open and you want to link a web page to a group or start a discussion about a page in a new group, you can just create the group without leaving the web page. You do need to have permission to create groups in Jive. For help getting to know Jive Anywhere, see Take a Quick Tour.

To create a group from Jive Anywhere:

  1. Using a browser with Jive Anywhere installed, open a web page. For more on installing Jive Anywhere, see Installing Jive Anywhere.
  2. Click the Discuss tab on the right side of your browser. If you're connected to multiple communities, click the Discuss tab for the community you want to use. You'll see a list of every piece of content that mentions this web page and you have permission to view.

  4. If there are no places connected, click Create a new Group to create a new Jive group. If there is at least one place connected, then click Actions > Create a new connected group.
