Assigning tasks in a community activity

Add activities to your community so you can assign tasks to members and share information and resources. You can grant access to the activity to all community members, or you can restrict access to a subset of members.

Creating an activity is a useful way to share to-do items, post event information, and organize meetings within a community. Creating an activity is easy: Click a button and complete a form. There are no required fields. You can edit the activity later to add or change information.

To create a community activity:
From the navigation bar, click Communities and select the community that you want to create an activity for.
In the community menu, click Activities and then Start An Activity. If you're creating the first activity, the button displays as Create Your First Activity.
In the Name field, type a short name that describes the purpose of the activity.
In the Tags field, type a keyword.
Add members to the activity by doing one of the following tasks:
- To add all community members to the activity:
  1. Select Allow all members of this community access in the activity as and click the arrow beside it.
  2. Select Owner, Author or Reader. For more information on roles, see Assigning app roles for community members.
- To add a subset of community members to the activity:
  1. Select Allow only the following community members access in the activity as and click the arrow beside it.
  2. Select Owner, Author or Reader.
  3. Select the checkbox for each member that you want to add to the activity.
- Specify an Activity goal and Due date.
Click Pick an activity template to see a list of available templates.
Click Save to finish creating the activity.

After you create an activity, you can add sections, entries, and to-do items. Community members receive an email message to notify them that they are added to the new activity.
