Posting a question

Ask members of a community a question about something you don’t know or can’t find the answer to, such as a procedure in your organisation, and members of the community and knowledge experts in your organisation can assist you by posting answers underneath it in the form of comments.

Making knowledge more accessible and discoverable is at the heart of Fuse's philosophy. For recommendations and tips on how to make the knowledge within your content more accessible and easily discoverable, see Creating accessible content within Fuse.

5. If necessary, click Add a Thumbnail to upload a thumbnail. Adding a thumbnail to a question makes it easily recognisable and helps it stand out in a list.

   • Community: Select one or more communities and, if necessary, select one or more topics.

   • Don't notify anyone: No users are notified. 

   • Notify all community members: All users in the selected community or communities are notified.

   • Notify specific users: Only selected users in a community are notified. 
     When posting content to an Evidence Portfolio: 

     • The Notify all community members option is not available.

     • If the user selects Notify specific users, they can only select their manager(s).

     • In order for the manager to appear in the Notify specific users list, they must have a manager assigned.
