Peek Into Your MySmartChannels Social Network

MySmartChannels Invitations make it easy to invite friends, colleagues, and co-workers to visit your secure channels.  As described in an earlier post, this provides a natural way to map social networks within a community of users.  Now, MySmartChannels provides a new My Invitations view that lets you easily monitor and review your invitation activity, giving you a peek into your emerging social network.

My Invitations reports on invitations in three categories:

• Received Invitations shows all invitations that you have received and accepted.
• Sent Invitations (Pending) shows the invitations sent by you which have not yet been accepted or rejected.
• Sent Invitations (Accepted) shows the invitations that you sent by you which have been accepted.

For each invitation shown, the report provides the following information:

• Target indicates the location (e.g., channel, item, etc.) to which the recipient was invited.  The target includes a link so that you can easily navigate to the target location.  This is particularly useful for received invitations, allowing you to return to the location.
• Received From or Sent To indicates the sender (for received invitations) or the recipient (for sent invitations).
• Date specifies the time and date when the invitation was accepted (or sent if it has not yet been accepted).

To view your own invitation history, simply login to MySmartChannels and click on the My Invitations link.
