Nexus Community Tip: How to mark your question as ‘Solved’
Hello Nexus Community Members, An important part of online communities is making sure that members’ questions are promptly answered & marked as solved. This helps in a variety of ways Members who are following your thread are alerted that you have resolved your question. This is helpful if they have the same question because they can review the response and apply as needed to their own implementation. Experts who are looking to help solve problems have visual indicator that this no longer needs their assistance. Whomever has responded with the correct answer gets credit for their time and efforts to help solve your problem. SLA’s in the community are met which is very important to our staff. Who can mark a question as solved? The OP (Original Poster) Moderators Community Manager Ideally the OP marks the thread as solved because ultimately, they know if the response is the correct or if more assistance is needed. Whomever marks the post as solved gets credit for that action and they move up in our Nexus Community Roles and Ranking system. We want our community members to have as much positive recognition as possible. Here is how you mark your Question/Thread as Resolved Login Go to your Question/Thread- there are two primary ways to do this- if you have Bookmarked it or via your Profile ‘Contributions’ feed. Once you are on the Question/Thread page review the responses If a response is correct, please click on the ‘Mark as Solution’ link on the left lower side of that response. If none of the responses resolve your question it is helpful if you post an update that you still need more assistance and include any pertinent details. You can also @mention people who responded or other community members to prompt them to visit your thread and assist.

Typically, when a member posts a question there is a sense of urgency which means this person wants to solve a problem or needs help and guidance with something. Getting responses more quickly helps resolve the issue and move forward. Here are some best practices posting questions that get answers more quickly. Location Make sure you post in the correct community area. We deliberately launched the Nexus Community with limited discussion forums to build momentum and not segregate our customers and experts any more than necessary. ScienceLogic SL1 – all SL1 platform and related topics Restorepoint – all Restorepoint related topics Community Information – all Nexus Community related topics Tags Select from the pre-generated forum tags to ensure the correct search and filtering experience. In most cases you can also add your own tags, be sure to avoid misspellings or typos. Tags also help us understand which topics are more important to our customers. SL1 Forum Restorepoint Forum Community Information Forum Title Keep your title simple and ‘scannable’ include the product name and feature and issue/problem. The goal is to stand out in content feeds for the correct experts to see the product area and what you need and feel like they may be able to help get you to the right answer. Good Examples SLI Powerflow Integration error message Restorepoint can’t connect to the device using the specified protocol Nexus Community how do I update my avatar? Avoid Putting too much in the title or missing any of these key components Saying 'HELP' and not explaining the problem Body Include as much supporting evidence as possible to make it easy for experts to understand the issue and help triage as quickly as possible. More information reduces back and forth posts and helps get a faster resolution: Do Screenshots Error Messages Examples Don’t Include any confidential or trademarked information Omit supporting information Add multiple issues into one question this complicates the experience for everyone Remember that others are taking time out of their day to help solve YOUR problem so do your due diligence to provide accurate information. @mentioning If an expert, peer or ScienceLogic employee has contributed to content in the past and you think they are interested or may have good feedback you can @mention their userid/screen name to get their attention. Thank Community Members for responding Remember to be gracious and thank others for helping you. They are also more likely to help you in the future. Mark Correct Answers as the ‘Solution’ Mark the correct answer as the ‘Solution’ as it helps other members who may have a similar issue and the system also assigns points to the person who helped solve your problem.
