Managing the Communities catalog

The Communities catalog enables you to display content from IBM® Connections communities or IBM Lotus® Quickr® places in the Communities application.

Sources are connections to servers or clusters that contain IBM Connections communities or Quickr places. The servers publish metadata about their communities and places, and sources collect that metadata in an index. Community metadata then displays in lists of communities in the I'm an Owner, I’m a Member, I’m Following I’m Invited and Public Communities views. By default, metadata is collected automatically on a schedule, but you can control collections for each source.
Note: Only places metadata is collected, not the actual community or place content.
