Getting Started¶

Thanks for joining the Glenhaven community website. If you've just signed up this is the place to start. You should be on the home page and this section will get you up to speed quickly. There is much more detail on every feature in the rest of this documentation.

How the site is organized¶

We are a community, so the site is organized around the houses and residents. Within the requirements of the CC&Rs, a house can have one or more residents. Residents have the option to join this website to be active in the community. When you join the website, you become a member.

Like most websites, navigation is done by clicking menu items in the navigation bar at the top, or buttons found on some forms. The Glenhaven logo (top left) is always a link back to the home page. Sub menu items are referred to like this Me/Groups which is the place where you join any open groups.

Home Page¶

The home page has three sections:

Announcements Shows messages entered by Admins. Hidden if there are none.
Weekly Calendar Shows all events. Use the left and right arrows to move between weeks. Click monthly to see a printable monthly calendar.
Your personal events calendar Shows all upcoming events for any group you're a member of, from today onward.

Add an icon on your phone¶

Before going any further, you'll want to add an icon on your phone so you don't have to re-enter the URL in your browser every time. Click here to see how. Now all you need is to click the G to see what's going on.

This is typical to many other sites and is the way you get to what you want to see or do. We'll go through each. Glenhaven in the upper left of the menu bar is home. Where ever you are on the site, clicking it will take you back to the home page.

Members¶

Lists all members. Initially sorted by Preferred name. Click Last to sort by last name, or Address to sort by abbreviated address. Click any member's name to see their detail page (including their photo, if they've provided one).

Groups¶

Events¶

Initially, shows all today and future events. Click the event name to see details. Click the people group icon under RSVP to see who's coming. Click chat to discuss anything about an event. To filter the events: - Click Show Past to see past events. While there click the Photos icon. - Click All - Show RSVP Only to see events that notify or require an RSVP not just posted on the calendar. - Click Template and select an event template to see all its events

Posts¶

Any member can post a topic they want to discuss. Each topic requires a Group and the posts and replies will only show for members of that group. We're looking at how bes to notify members of new posts.

Surveys¶

When we want to get quantitative input on a topic or issue, a survey will be created by an admin and set to be Open. That will show the survey in this item and allow you to participate. After the survey closes, results will be compiled and shown.

Me¶

This is your place to manage your profile, join groups, RSVP and more. Go to me for details.
