Moderation rules and notification hierarchy

When moderation is enabled in a place, the application sends a moderation notification to the first valid moderator it finds. Here you can find the content types that can be configured for moderation, who moderates them, and the order in which Jive notifies the moderators about content submitted for moderation.

For example, if you set up a moderator for announcements in an open Space, Jive first looks for a space moderator; if there is none assigned, it then looks for a Global Moderator, and so on. For more information, see Moderator roles.

CAUTION:

We strongly recommend designating more than one moderator per place and more than one global moderator. For more information, see Moderation Best Practices.

The following tables show the types of content that can be configured for moderation, who moderates them, and the order in which Jive notifies the moderators about content submitted for moderation.
