Personally Connecting With Organisations

Before reading on please ensure that you have understood the following topics:

• Getting Started/Overview
• Personal Signing Up To SQUIZZ.com
• Connecting With People

The SQUIZZ.com platform allows you to connect personally to organisations registered within the platform. Once you are connected to an organisation you will be able to be invited to follow the organisation's private feeds, be able to be assigned to the organisation's customer accounts and purchase goods and services at tailored or reduced prices, as well as access additional information about the organisation based on access granted to you.

To connect personally to an organisation follow these steps:

1. Open a web browser and go to SQUIZZ.com. Login with your credentials previously created when you signed up.
2. Find the organisation you wish to connect with, either by using the organisation search on the SQUIZZ.com home page, or by clicking on the organisation's name anywhere where it appears within the SQUIZZ.com platform (such as in signatures appearing in conversations, or in other organisation profiles).
3. Click on the organisation's name to open the organisation profile dialog.
4. Click on the Connect button.
5. Click on the Connect Personally button.
6. In the Organisation Group drop down choose a group to assign the organisation to.
7. Tick the Request A Customer Account checkbox if you wish the organisation to create or assign you to your own customer account, allowing you to personally purchase off the organisation upon agreed terms and pricing.
8. Optionally in the Message textarea type a message that the person who is to approve your connection request within the organisation will see.
9. Click on the Connect button.

A notification will be sent to any people within the organisation who are allowed to see connection requests. If one of those persons approved your request then you will receive a notification advising that you are now connected to the organisation. Additionally the organisation will appear within the Organisations menu and be assigned to the Organisation Group that you assigned the organisation to. If your connection request is declined then you will also receive a notification advising so.

Note that there is a limit on how many organisation connection requests, once you have hit the limit then you must wait for an organisation to approve or decline your connection requests before being able to send another request.

The SQUIZZ.com platform allows you to connect personally to one or more organisations as an employee. Once you are connected as an employee to an organisation you can do the following:

• Set the organisation in a conversation to denote that you are speaking professionally as an employee, as well as have your job title display with each post.
• Be invited to follow and post in private organisation feeds, which may be used for internal organisation announcements and team/department news.
• Post in feeds on behalf of the organisation, if the organisation's administrator(s) have granted you permission.
• Make purchases on behalf of the organisation, if the organisation's administrator(s) have granted you permission.
• Create sales against allowed customer accounts within the organisation, acting as a sales representative if allowed to do so.
• View conversations associated to the organisation's customer accounts.
• Administer aspects of the organisation, such as approving connection requests, assigning people and organisations to groups and accounts, setting up organisation data, if the organisation's creator or other administrator(s) has granted you permission.
• Have the organisation verify your current or past employment with the organisation.

To connect as an employee to an organisation follow these steps:

1. Find the organisation you wish to connect with, either by using the organisation search on the SQUIZZ.com home page, or by clicking on the organisation's name anywhere where it appears within the TOTECS platform (such as in signatures appearing in conversations, or in other organisation profiles).
2. Click on the organisation's name to open the organisation profile dialog.
3. Click on the Connect button.
4. Click on the Connect As An Employee button.
5. In the Organisation Group drop down choose a group to assign the organisation to.
6. In the "Enter an agreed code to authenticate your employment" enter the code that the administrator/authorised Human Resources person within the organisation may have advised you to set. This code is used to verify that you are an employee.
7. Tick the Request A Customer Account checkbox if you wish the organisation to create or assign you to your own customer account, allowing you to personally purchase off the organisation upon agreed terms and pricing.
8. Optionally in the Message textarea type a message that the person who is to approve your connection request within the organisation will see.
9. Click on the Connect button.

A notification will be sent to any people within the organisation who are allowed to see connection requests. If one of those persons approved your request then you will receive a notification advising that you are now connected to the organisation. Additionally the organisation will appear within the Organisations menu and be assigned to the Organisation Group that you assigned the organisation to. In any conversation dialog you will be able to assign the organisation to your conversation posts. If your connection request is declined then you will also receive a notification advising so.

Note that there is a limit on how many organisation connection requests, once you have hit the limit then you must wait for an organisation to approve or decline your connection requests before being able to send another request.

Once an organisation has accepted your connection request then the organisation will be added to your list of organisations available from within the Organisations menu on the platform. You can group your organisations together to make it easy to find and categorise how you know an organisation. Note that the groups can only be seen by you and not any of the organisations. By default after signing up to the platform the following groups would have been created for you:

• Charities - Organisations that are non-for-profit.
• Employers - Organisations that you work for.
• Entertainment - Organisations that provide entertainment for you.
• Local Organisations - Organisations that exist within your local community.
• Purchasers - Organisations that buy goods and services off you.
• Recreation - Organisations the provide you with recreational activities, such as sporting clubs, .
• Service Providers - Organisations that provide services for you, such as electricity companies, or internet providers.
• Suppliers - Organisations that you buy products from.
• Unassigned Organisations - Organisations that have not been assigned to any group.

You can change the labels of these default groups, as well as deleted them, and add new organisation groups.

Data Sharing Policies

For each organisation group you can assign a "data sharing policy". Each policy determines the information about yourself that can be seen by the organisations you've assigned to the group. For example in your "Employers" contact group you could assign a data sharing policy that allows your employment organisation assigned to it to see all your personal information about yourself, where as for the "Charities" group you could assign a policy that allows chosen charitable organisations to see only your name, email address, and phone number. Using data sharing policies allows you to have great control over the information you choose to share with organisations.
