Associated applications

When you create or edit a community, you can associate different applications with the community, if your administrator has made them available for your deployment.

When your administrator has enabled associated applications for communities, the Start a Community and the Edit a Community forms display an Associated Applications area that lists the options available for your deployment.

For example, the administrator can enable you to associate an IBM Lotus Quickr team place with a community, giving you a central location to store and manage files, and share information with fellow community members.

Blog Allows community members to post comments in a blog and share information with their team.
Team space Place where team members can manage different types of content.

The administrator can also make custom place types available for association with a community.

Deleting a community does not automatically delete the Lotus Quickr place associated with it. To delete the associated Lotus Quickr place, open the Lotus Quickr application and delete the place from within the application.

Confluence Wiki You can add a Confluence wiki to your community to create a place for you and your fellow community members to collaborate and manage community information. If you delete the community associated with a Confluence wiki, the wiki is automatically deleted.
Socialtext Wiki Add a Socialtext wiki to your community to create a place where content is created and maintained by community members. If you delete the community associated with a Socialtext wiki, the wiki is automatically deleted.
