Blogs are typically personal records of an individual user's experience and opinions. In Oracle WebCenter Spaces, users can create blogs to group related blog posts, for example to group topics by the same author or otherwise related topics. Each blog contains various blog posts. For more information, refer to the Working with Blogs section in the Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Oracle WebCenter Spaces.
You can use a discussion forum to post, respond to, and preserve topical information, and other users can post information relevant to those topics. All of this information is preserved within the discussion forum so that teams of users can collaborate on opportunities and customer records. Everyone who is part of the opportunity or customer team can post and reply to discussions. Within Oracle Fusion CRM Collaboration, discussions are enabled for opportunities and customer business objects. For more information, refer to the Creating a Discussion Forum section in the Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Oracle WebCenter Spaces.
Teams of employees can use group spaces to collaborate in the context of an opportunity or customer record. Within a group space, employees can collaborate by engaging in existing discussions or creating new ones, and they can create new wikis. They can also create new group spaces and leverage available features, such as discussions, blogs, wikis, announcements, and so on. By using group spaces, employee groups can contend with work blockages, such as:
Unstructured sales activities that are not captured.
Information that is locked in silos.
Hard-to-find successful or useful content.
Numerous e-mail threads used for collective content authoring.
For more information, refer to the Understanding Space Basics section in the Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Oracle WebCenter Spaces.
Tags categorize business objects in Oracle Fusion Applications, for example specific invoices and opportunities, with your own keywords. You can share tags so that anyone searching or browsing for items can find them based on common tags. For more information, refer to the Working with the Tags Service section in the Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Oracle WebCenter Spaces.
Wikis are Web sites of interlinked Web pages that members of a group can create and edit in a Web browser. Members who have the appropriate permissions can add and edit information to share it with their group. For more information, refer to the Working with Wikis section in the Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Oracle WebCenter Spaces.
