Community Tips

1. Making information easier for our members to find, and make the community more effective:

  • If you submit a discussion and it is a question, check the “Mark this discussion as a question” box when you are creating the discussion. This will highlight the discussion as a request for help.
  • Acknowledge a reply as “Answer” when it answers your question, or identify it as “Helpful” if a reply was helpful. This will recognize the members who are taking the time to help other members.
  • Select applicable categories when entering your discussions. This makes it easy to filter on and view related content in the “Content” tab.
  • Tag everything. This helps surface the most relevant search results and it helps to bring appropriate content to your “What Matters” Activity stream.

2. Getting FSL help:

  • Even though you can have and use multiple accounts in the community, It is generally good practice to use a single account.  Furthermore, it behooves community members to use your primary Freescale.com account when submitting community questions.  This allows Freescale support to see more information about you that you may not expose in your community profile, such as your company name and location.  This information helps us to assign the proper support resources to your issue.
Comments

If you want to add a "tag" to an existing document, Bookmark the item (look in the upper right for the bookmark tab), then EDIT that bookmark.  You can add tags to your bookmark, which now can be used for search / sort.

If you want to make a comment to or alert someone about a particular discussion, you can use the share feature (look in the upper right for the "share" tab),   This will send a notice to people (with your comments) and includes a link to the discussion item.  These "share" comments do not become part of the discussion thread, nor are they searchable content.

I would like to be able to "share" with someone who is not my 'friend'

Sharing works like direct messages - you need to connect with someone, and vice versa, before you can share or DM with him.  That's not a selectable parameter.

thanks grant!
