Platform Setup contains all of the options you need to configure Tent to the requirements of your community.

Features

Use Toggle Features to control which Tent features are available to your community members. Members will only see a menu item on the sidebar for those features that are switched on. All features are always visible to admins, but a yellow banner at the top of the page will tell them when the feature they’re on is currently switched off.

Toggling off a feature will only change the visibility to members. Its content will always be preserved. For example, if you switch discussions off then all your discussion threads will be maintained. Equally, admins can create content when a feature is switched off. This way you can make sure that there is content available as soon as it is enabled for members.

To switch a feature on or off, simply click the Toggle slider. Toggling a feature applies to the whole platform (i.e. all members and groups).

Open Groups

Toggle Features also allows you to switch Open Groups on and off. Open Groups are groups which members can choose to join (as opposed to normal groups, which are set for them by admins or by the integration if the organisation has one). They are visible under Community > Groups.

Appearance

The appearance section allows you to customise the look and feel of the platform in minutes so that it is branded to look like your organisation.

Descriptions

Change the organisation name, the URL name, the platform name and platform description to make the platform your own.
