Community Navigation

To access Communities, log in to your member profile: <https://natcom.my.site.com/s/>

Click "Groups" in the top navigation bar.

You will then be directed to your My Groups page, where all of your NCA interest groups are listed.

With communities, you can customize how often you receive email notifications by choosing one of the following options: Every Post sends an email each time new content is posted. Daily Digest sends one summary email per day. Weekly Digest sends one summary email per week, including a full week of activity. Limited sends only the most important notifications.

You can also manage notifications using the button below.

Community Engagement

Each community feed contains posts, announcements, polls, and questions shared by group administrators.

Members who would like to share a post may contact their community administrator for assistance with submission. Contact information can by clicking the contact your administrator link.

Announcements shared by group administrators are labeled with a megaphone icon and appear at the top of the feed until they expire. Pinned posts are labeled with a pushpin icon and also appear at the top of the feed.

You can sort your feed using the drop-down menu on the left based on your preference. You can also search the feed using the search field.

Alternatively, the right-hand drop-down provides options for sorting posts and questions.

Select the arrow below to refresh the feed.

You can participate in polls by selecting your response option.

Select the thumbs-up icon to like a post.

You can comment on any content in the feed using the comment field.

To bookmark a post, select the caret next to it and choose “Bookmark”.
