Requests for new myCI Pod Community are to be made through the IT Solution Center by completing the New myCI Pod Community Request Form. Once submitted, it will be reviewed by the Web Services Team. If the request to create a new myCI Pod Community is not approved, the Web Services team will explain why and will consult on how best to proceed. If approved, the Web Services team will invite the requester and identified community administrators to attend a New Community Meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to ensure that all parties involved understand their roles and responsibilities and for the Web Services team to confirm configuration requirements so that they may set up the community so that it may then be updated with content by the assigned administrators.
If a new Community is the solution you are looking for, click Request New Community to start the process of building your community.
