Social Business software features can be a little puzzling for the uninitiated. Profiles, Communities, Network Contacts, Files, and that's just for starters. But where do I start? What's a tag for? You want me write about myself in the About Me section of my profile? Isn't that a little vain? Can I really invite people who are not in SmartCloud Engage or SmartCloud Connections to come in and use the product for free?

These and other questions can be answered with the new, interactive, scenario-based  Getting Started with SmartCloudEngage and SmartCloudConnections.

Here's how it works. You first choose a made-up person whose business goals closely match your own. Next, you follow some steps for setting up your LotusLive. While you're setting up SmartCloud Engage or SmartCloud Connections, you can read how-to steps, watch a how-to video, or just do the steps in real-time! 

Get started by filling out your profile, importing your contacts, adding people to your network, changing your account settings, and so on. Administrators can get started to by setting up the company account, adding a theme, logo, adding user accounts, setting privacy policies, and so on.
