Setting Web Part Properties

There are a number of Web Part Properties that can be used to configure the behaviour of Social Squared. To access the Web Part Properties, Click Edit to put your site into Edit mode if it is not already. Click on to the Pencil icon in the top left hand corner of the Social Squared Client Side Web Part. The Social Squared Web Part Configuration tool part will display.

The following properties will display:

• Title – Set the title of the web part. You can change it from Social Squared to something relevant to your organization, such as “Marketing Forums”.
  
  
• Forum Groups – You can configure which Forum Groups you would like to display on this particular instance of the web part. Leaving this property blank will result in the Social Squared Client Side Web Part showing all forum groups. Setting a value will display the Forum Group that you specify. (e.g. You may have configured 2 forum groups, but only want to display one of them on this particular page.)
