HowTo: Oops I meant to keep that conversation private! belongs to nGenera Product Management  by Brittain on Mar 08, 2008 - 11:13 AM read 991 times |
Let's be honest, communicating online is new and different. One of the common mistakes made is not securing a conversation that isn't intended for the everyone.
Why does this happen? Frankly, it's because e.laborate can't guess your intended audience for you and apply the correct secure tags (read this primer about the data security mechanisms). Certainly, e.laborate tries! Start a conversation from a group page or on a secured menu and the tag will automatically prefill in the "Tags to Assign" field.
Given this, I'm often asked, "what do you recommend to avoid this?"
Well, there's no silver bullet. However, I recommend you think of locking the way you think of adding recipients to an e-mail; simply, you must know your intended audience. The twist is that with an e-mail you've no audience until you add recipients, whereas in a Hub your audience is the world until you add tags.
You wouldn't send an e-mail without thinking of the recipients and you shouldn't start a conversation without thinking of the group or lock tags.
