Watch A Quick Overview Of Social Squared
Within this video, we demonstrate how Social Squared can provide Discussion Board functionality within Microsoft Teams Channels and as a Microsoft Teams Personal App.
Discussion Board within Microsoft Teams Tab
Social Squared is a Discussion Board App for Microsoft Teams Tab’s and Microsoft Teams Personal Apps. Social Squared provides information workers the ability to post questions within relevant forums, and receive answers from their team. The Discussion Board layout for posts makes it easier to find answers to questions that may have already been asked before. Through features such as “Mark as Answered”, “Forum Moderation”, “Post Rating”, “Post Likes”, “Post Voting”, users will be assured that the answers they are reading are validated.
Reading Topics within Microsoft Teams
Topic views give you access to posts from your team members. Easily view topics, reply to topics, subscribe to topics, and Add new topics. From the topics view within the Discussion Board, you’ll be able to see which topics have been marked as answered, viewed the most, rated, marked as sticky and more.
Topics can be created using SharePoint and Microsoft Teams.
Tag Cloud in Social Squared for Microsoft Teams
Users who create or reply to posts can tag their content with keywords. These tags help with finding content relevant to your questions or needs. The most prominent tags are used the most throughout the forums, and clicking on them will take you straight to the post.
Searching Discussion Forums
Social Squared contains it’s own forum search allowing topics and replies to topics to be searched. The Discussion Board search allows you to perform searches relevant to the displayed forum groups. However, with the content also stored within SharePoint lists, Microsoft Teams or SharePoint searches will also return security trimmed Topics.
Microsoft Teams Discussion Board Notifications
Using Subscriptions to Posts or entire forums, Social Squared will notify you via Microsoft Teams Notifications or Email when you have been replied to, or if someone creates a post in a forum that you follow.
Social Squared as a Microsoft Teams Personal App
Adding Social Squared as a Microsoft Teams Personal App allows you to configure Forums Groups and Forums that span multiple Teams. Everyone with access to your Microsoft Teams tenant will be able to post and reply to posts that are an organizational level. To deploy Social Squared as a personal app, you can add Social Squared to your SharePoint App Catalog, and then click the “Sync to Microsoft Teams” button.
