How to Post Effectively
Choose the right approach based on your topic and audience
Domain (ERP, PLM, CRM, …)
- Vendor‑neutral topics, frameworks, strategy & governance
- Cross‑platform comparisons and best practices
- Architecture patterns, ROI, industry standards
Software (e.g., SAP S/4HANA, Salesforce, Teamcenter)
- Implementation/config issues, specific errors, how‑to for modules
- Version/environment details (cloud/on‑prem), integration & customization
- Release‑specific behavior and product‑specific features
1) Pick your Topic Scope
Choose Technical Area for implementation/config, Generic for vendor‑neutral topics, or Strategic for governance/roadmaps.
2) Add Context
Include Module, System Environment (version, cloud/on‑prem), and any errors/logs you've seen.
3) Tag It Right
Use precise Topic Tags (e.g., api-integration, data-migration). Prefer 2—4 focused tags.
Domain Generic
Vendor-neutral discussions & strategic insights
Generic Topics Guidelines
- Focus on vendor-neutral discussions that apply across multiple platforms
- Share best practices, methodologies, and frameworks that transcend specific software
- Discuss industry trends, standards, and architectural approaches
- Ask questions about requirements analysis, solution design, or implementation strategies
- Compare different approaches without promoting specific vendors
Strategy & Governance
- Share executive-level insights and strategic frameworks
- Discuss organizational transformation and change management
- Address governance models and business-level planning
- Include measurable outcomes and business impact
- Focus on leadership, decision-making, and risk management
Software Specific
Technical implementation & troubleshooting
Technical Guidelines
- Include specific software version, edition, and environment details
- Provide clear error messages, logs, or screenshots when troubleshooting
- Share configuration steps, code snippets, or technical documentation
- Use both domain tags (ERP) and specific software tags (SAP S/4HANA)
- Include system requirements, dependencies, and prerequisites
- Specify the module or functional area within the software
Implementation Focus
- Document step-by-step implementation procedures
- Share lessons learned from real project experiences
- Include testing approaches and validation methods
- Discuss customization, configuration, and integration details
- Provide before/after comparisons and performance metrics
Two Ways to Start Posting
Both paths lead to the same posting capabilities - just different ways to navigate
Key Point
Whether you use cards or navigation, you can post to ANY domain or software. These are simply two different ways to browse and access the same posting areas.
Card-Based Navigation
Click domain cards on the main page
How It Works
- Start from homepage: Browse colorful domain cards (ERP, CRM, PLM, etc.)
- Click any card: Enter that domain's discussion area
- Post to domain OR software: Once inside, you can post generic topics or navigate to specific software
- Great for: Exploring different domains and getting an overview
Sidebar Navigation
Use left menu to navigate directly
How It Works
- Always visible: Left sidebar shows domains and software organized hierarchically
- Direct access: Click straight to your target (ERP → SAP S/4HANA)
- Faster navigation: Skip browsing cards if you know exactly where to go
- Great for: Power users who work primarily with specific software

Universal Best Practices
Quality guidelines that apply to all posts regardless of topic
Clear Titles
Use descriptive titles that indicate the domain, software (if applicable), and specific question or topic. Avoid vague titles like "Help needed" or "Question about ERP".
Proper Tagging
Always use relevant tags to help community members find and filter content effectively. Use both domain tags and specific software tags when applicable.
Context First
Provide business context before diving into technical details to help others understand the broader picture and provide better solutions.
Search Before Posting
Check if similar questions have been answered to avoid duplicates and build on existing discussions rather than starting from scratch.
Follow-Up
Mark solutions as accepted and provide updates on implementation outcomes to help future readers with similar challenges.
Be Specific
Include relevant details like industry, company size, and specific business requirements when asking for advice or sharing experiences.
System Environment Tagging
How to properly specify your technical environment
Version Specificity
Always include exact versions: "SAP S/4HANA 2023 FPS01" or "Salesforce Winter '24" rather than generic references.
Deployment Type
Specify Cloud vs On-Premise, and include specific cloud platforms: "S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition" or "Dynamics 365 Online".
Module/Functional Area
Include specific modules like "SAP FI-CO", "Salesforce Service Cloud", or "Teamcenter Manufacturing" for targeted responses.
Integration Context
When posting about integrations, tag all systems involved: "SAP S/4HANA + Salesforce + MuleSoft integration architecture".
Environment Details
For technical issues, include: Development/QA/Production environment, database type, middleware, and relevant infrastructure details.
Custom vs Standard
Clearly indicate if you're using standard functionality, custom code, or third-party add-ons that affect the solution approach.
