CAP Network
Quick Start Guide
1. Watch the video
Get a tour of CAP Network and learn how easy it is to get started. Video length: 3 min 45 sec
2. Fill out your profile
Upload a photo and tell colleagues about your skills and background. See short training videos for help with changing your visibilty settings, email notifications and more.
Note: Your profile has to at least be available to the internal Stanford community for you to use CAP's collaboration features.
3. Create and join groups
Create your own private group for real-time collaborations with your colleagues. See Using Groups in the CAP Network.
4. Follow relevant people

5. Set up email notifications
By default, you'll receive a daily digest of the activity of the people and groups that you're following. You can change this to get a weekly digest or an email alert for every post to a group. There is also a nonsecure email option if you are forwarding your Stanford email to a non-Stanford address. See Email Notification settings.
6. Install Chatter's desktop & mobile clients
You can use one of Chatter's clients to post updates and track discussions from your mobile device, or straight from your desktop without using a browser. For step-by-step directions on how to install, login to the CAP Help:
