Join Groups in the Client Community
The groups tool in the Interfolio Client Community was created to offer a place for smaller communities with commonalities to breakout and talk about, potentially private, relevant topics specific to their common-held scenario or perspective (such as Small institution, System perspective, Medical Institution, and more). In groups, users can post a discussion post, poll, or question that is relevant to the smaller group within the community. This article goes over how to join groups in the client community.
This guide is only for users in the Interfolio Client Community. This guide is not relevant to the general use of the Interfolio product (such as Dossier, Faculty Search (FS), Faculty Activity Reporting (FAR, Faculty180), Review, Promotion & Tenure (RPT)).
