Welcome to the Khoros Community, Atlas! The mission of this online community is to provide a peer-to-peer and direct support channel for people cultivating enterprise communities on the Khoros platform. It is a central for education and thought leadership on best practices, where we also ideate with customers directly on how to improve and extend the product platform. Please remember that you may not share your registered account with any other individual, entity, or organization. Enterprise communities are created by business organizations for their customers, partners or other enthusiasts. While our community is aimed at Khoros customers and users, we welcome everyone with an interest in enterprise communities, as long as you observe these community rules: 1. Be respectful. Respect people's time and attention by asking well-thought-out questions and sharing what you've learned so far in your experimentation or prior research. Respect people as individuals by keeping your tone positive and your comments constructive. 2. Be relevant. Make sure your contributions are relevant to the mission of the community, to the specific discussion style and topic where you post. Please do not post duplicate messages in different areas of the community to avoid fragmenting discussion. If you have a new question, start a new thread rather than interrupting a conversation. Solicitations are rarely relevant. If you have something you want members to join, participate in, or buy, ask us first. 3. Keep your word. Don't post anything that would violate any contractual agreements (copyright, trade secret, or otherwise) or nondisclosure agreements to which you are a party. 4. Protect privacy - yours and others'. Don't share anything about yourself or your organization that you would not want to see on a road-side billboard. Share your business email address if you wish, but don't post personal information-your own or anyone else's (including contact information or any), or content that you receive in one-to-one communications, without the author's consent. 5. Remember, this is user-generated content. You'll find plenty of good advice here, but remember that your situation, configuration, or implementation may vary from that of the individual sharing a solution.

Marketing customers previously had to email Support or CommunityHelp to gain access to gated content in Atlas if they were using a Marketing Product. On March 17, 2020, we implemented single sign-on (SSO) so these requirements are no longer necessary. If you’re a marketing customer and would like to know more about how SSO will affect your access to Atlas, please read the FAQ below. How can Marketing customers register for Atlas? How can Marketing customers log in to Atlas? How should I log in or register if I use Khoros Marketing and another Khoros product? What if a Marketing customer clicks a link within the Marketing product? What if the Marketing customer uses a different email for Marketing and Atlas? What if the Marketing customer has multiple logins for different Marketing environments? What is SSO? What about Care and Community customers? Still having trouble? How can Marketing customers register for Atlas? The Marketing Customers button will allow Khoros Marketing users (formally Spredfast) to sign or register into Atlas via Signal Sign On (SSO). If you use Khoros Marketing and another Khoros product, we recommend you sign in using Marketing SSO. How can Marketing customers log in to Atlas? Marketing customers will be given the opportunity to log in to Atlas using their Khoros Marketing credentials. If the user has already registered for Atlas, Khoros will utilize SSO, to automatically log them into the page they were trying to get to. How should I log in or register if I use Khoros Marketing and another Khoros product? If you use Khoros Marketing and another Khoros product, we recommend you sign in using Marketing SSO. What if a Marketing customer clicks a link within the Marketing product? If a Marketing customer follows a link to documentation from within a Marketing product, this will trigger the flows above. What if the Marketing customer uses a different email for Marketing and Atlas? They will need to update their Atlas email to match the email they use for the Marketing platform. They can change their email address in their email settings page. If the user doesn’t change their email, they will have duplicate accounts. What if the Marketing customer has multiple logins for different Marketing environments? They can either set up multiple Atlas profiles or choose to log in with one natively through Atlas. What is SSO? Single sign-on is an authentication scheme that allows a user to log in with a single ID and password to any of several related, yet independent, software systems. What about Care and Community customers? We are investigating ways to provide SSO to all of our customers, but for now, Care and Community customers will still need to request customer access by emailing [email protected]. For more details, visit How to Register for Atlas. Still having trouble? Email us at [email protected] and we’ll help.ViewsSign in to react to this postCommentsHow to Register for Atlas

Getting Started What is Aurora? "Aurora is a game-changing update to the industry-leading Khoros Communities solution, with a set of transformative capabilities that make it easier to deliver an exceptional member experience." Aurora is the major upgrade for Khoros Communities (Classic). First released officially on July 31st, 2023, Aurora is a total transformation of our top-notch community platform. We've completely revamped it, utilizing cutting-edge technologies and adopting a modern headless architecture. We have intentionally bolstered Aurora with powerful APIs that provide flexibility and robustness. From the very beginning, we've focused on creating an exceptional user experience, designing it with mobile-friendliness, performance, SEO, and accessibility in mind. It's a fresh start with a foundation built for the future of online communities. Jump to Features. Discovery: Am I ready for Aurora? The first step is to determine your readiness for upgrading to Aurora. There is no rush to move from Classic as of 2024, so it is essential to review where you stand and what you need in order to upgrade successfully. Secondly, it's good to remember that any change to your community presents an opportunity to revisit what success means and how your community experience supports success today and in the future. With this in mind, we encourage you to challenge yourself at each step of planning and ask, "How does this align to and support our business goals?" Getting started Understand Your Goals: While Aurora improves drastically upon the day-to-day community design, admin configuration, moderation, and end-user experience, in evaluating your readiness to upgrade to Aurora, ask yourself: What are your plans for the community in the coming year? How do they align with your business goals & strategy? Do you require certain features or integrations to support your community strategy and day-to-day management? How do you use them? Do you use SSO authentication? How does the authentication process work? (You may need to gather this information from the team that manages SSO at your organization.) How long will it take to gather resources to help you in the upgrade to Aurora? Evaluate Customizations: As a best practice, customizations should be limited to those where there is a clear business value and no alternative feature. With this in mind, we recommend you evaluate existing customizations in line with your community goals, and as part of your upgrade plan, consider your path to sunset any customizations you use today that do not provide measurable value to the community experience and its success. You may have custom features today (like widgets, special pages, etc.)—many of these can now be replaced with Aurora's built-in features. Where you can, we recommend switching to Aurora's features. It will not only save you the cost and effort to rewrite those components using new Aurora development tools but also help maintain your technical debt to that which is absolutely required. You can refer to the feature table on available features in Aurora. If you need help in this step, reach out to your development team, development partner, and/or your Khoros account team for assistance. Scope Customizations: If upon completing evaluation of your existing customizations you identify key customizations you need to maintain when moving from Classic to Aurora, send a request to your Khoros account team to start the process on scoping the Aurora upgrade work and cost for updating your customizations. Structure Changes: The community structure informs the user path through community and supports their ability to find content relevant to their need. As best practice it should be reviewed annually or whenever a change occurs in community or the business (e.g., redesign, product/service changes, etc.) Simply upgrading to Aurora takes your community structure, content, and members as is. As part of your upgrade planning, we recommend that you review the effectiveness of your structure in its current form, identify opportunities to improve, and plan to implement those changes. Structure changes can be made in advance of an upgrade. In fact, we highly recommend that you identify any opportunities to make these changes ahead of time—it can only positively impact the existing experience. If you would like structure changes to be included as part of your Aurora upgrade, this requires a migration to be added to your upgrade scope, which is an additional cost. Please review this need and communicate to your Khoros account team. Consider Previewing Aurora: If you think you might be ready to upgrade to Aurora in the next few months, you can request a temporary Aurora Preview instance with your CSM. Read on for more info on Aurora Preview instance set up. Engage with Khoros: If you have questions, please ask in this forum: Community Aurora Discussions Aurora Upgrade Tasks Overview & Recommended Actions When a community is upgraded to Aurora, automated tasks run in the background to ensure the data from Classic is now supported in Aurora. Here is a run-down on how that works: Upgrade Task What happens in the upgrade? Required Actions for Khoros Customer Tags and Labels Tags and Labels both merge into "Tags" in Aurora. Similar to Labels in Classic, you can set pre-defined and freeform tags. Root-level labels and tags are carried forward as is, but reply-level tags are not. Pre-defined labels are carried forward and set in the Aurora admin as "pre-defined tags." If a particular Tag and Label have names identical to each other in Classic, these will merge into one collective tag in Aurora. Before Aurora upgrade, it is recommended (but optional) to clean up tags and labels as they will come over to Aurora as is when you upgrade your community. If you decide to clean up tags after the Aurora upgrade, you will still have the options to replace and remove tags. URL Redirects URLs to pages in Classic have 301 redirects automatically set to the corresponding pages in Aurora. None Images & Videos Images and videos are now associated with content in Aurora. Images and videos contained within galleries (and not attributed to content) will not be moved to Aurora, but all images and videos within content will be moved forward. User avatars are kept on the upgrade to Aurora. Any custom avatars collections in Assets within Studio are not moved forward into Aurora. If you plan to move forward your custom user avatars, save these assets. Once your stage community has upgraded to Aurora, upload your custom user avatars in Designer. Roles & Permissions All existing roles and permissions configurations will be moved forward to Aurora. None Community Settings (Nodes, Content, Users) All applicable community settings in Classic will be applied in Aurora automatically. Certain settings are not available in Aurora, so expect discrepancies between Classic and Aurora. None Ranks All ranks and existing criteria will be moved forward. The icons will not be moved forward, you will need to add icons back in Aurora. There are new options for visual styles in ranks for the customer to choose. Review ranks and set the new visual style for the ranks that you'd like after the upgrade. Badges All "live" badges and existing criteria and badge icons will be moved forward. Badges in the "Create" tab in Classic will not be moved forward. Badges will be unorganized and placed in a single set right after the upgrade. Badges can now be organized into "sets." Review badges and organize badges into newly created sets after the upgrade. Idea Statuses All predefined idea statuses are carried forward. Statuses will be unorganized and placed in a single set. Idea statuses can now be organized into "sets." Review idea statuses and organize them into newly created sets after the upgrade. Upgrade Process Overview During an Aurora upgrade project, you can expect these steps: Customer Preparation: Use your temporary Aurora Preview environment to configure and design your community. You can request that Khoros import your existing stage admin settings (Structure, Roles/Permissions, and Ranks are supported) to this environment. Upgrade Stage to Aurora: Once you kick off your project, your Stage environment is upgraded first, and Khoros moves your configurations over from your Aurora Preview environment. In this step, configure Stage with structure, ranks, designs, customizations, etc. Test and validate everything on this instance primarily. In this step, you no longer have access to your Aurora Preview instance. Important Note: You are no longer able to use Studio Self-Publish after Stage is upgraded. Testing Your Data in Aurora (optional): Khoros Services team sets up a special temporary environment for you to test your Aurora configurations & designs with a scrubbed (no PII) copy of your production data (with content & members). This step may not be available if you upgrade on your own or with a partner. Final Validation and Launch: After testing and approvals, your Classic Production environment is upgraded to Aurora. Upgrade tasks are run in the background to make your data compatible with Aurora. In this step, you perform final validation and testing for go-live. Completion and Cleanup: Once the upgrade is complete and validated, you have successfully upgraded to Aurora! Aurora Preview Environments Once you have an Aurora Preview instance set up, you can collaborate with your Khoros account team on steps you can take before your Aurora upgrade. We recommend starting to complete these tasks when you first gain access to your preview environment: Explore Aurora features and capabilities. Collect assets, style guide, and taxonomy from your brand. Once you have an admin account, begin to customize the look and feel using the Theme editor (colors, fonts, design). Set up the community structure and create test content as needed. Add badges & ranks, and adjust designs if necessary. Review and validate preset tags. Customize pages using the Page Templates builder (page layouts, widgets, text). Review roles and permissions, and test user access levels. Fine-tune miscellaneous settings such as Robots.txt and Content Settings. We are confident that you will become comfortable with using Admin and Designer tools as you progress through this list, but feel free to leverage the Aurora educational material in Atlas: Getting Started in Aurora.

In the scenario where you need to migrate another community into your community, it is an option to engage with Khoros Services for migration during your Aurora upgrade project. Consult with your account team to discuss further and define your requirements. Can I update my structure or do a re-structuring during my upgrade to Aurora? When you upgrade your community to Aurora, it will upgrade it 1 to 1. There is no need for a migration map as the upgrade process is not a migration. All content, members, structure, and settings remain in place as your community is upgraded. This means that if you need to move content around in your structure or do a re-structuring during an Aurora upgrade, it is recommended that you do this prior to the Aurora upgrade. If your restructuring is extensive, it may require a migration, which will require scoping with Khoros and additional cost. Will I retain access to Classic Community Analytics (also known as LSI - Lithium Social Intelligence)? After you upgrade to Aurora, you will have access only to Aurora Analytics (metrics definitions can be found here). Though you will no longer have access to Classic Community Analytics dashboards, up to 2 years of historical data will be available in the Aurora Analytics Dashboard. Also, Bulk Data API v3 is available in Aurora, so you will be able to continue usage of the API for your own internal analytics needs.ViewsSign in to react to this postCommentsFlood controls for Aurora communities
