@targeting and hashtags

The Aurea Social app makes it simple to target communities and people, as well as add hashtags with the tap of a button.

When you tap ‘@’ or ‘#’ you will be taken to a screen that lets you search for the intended word, person, or community. The app will autocomplete as you type so it’s easier to make a selection.

 

Post formatting

The apps allow formatting of microblogs and questions by use of BBCode syntax. The Android app supports the display of the following:

• [b] bold [/b]
• [i] italics [/i]
• [u] underline [/u]
• [del] strikethrough [/del] [h1] header1 [/h1]
• [h2] header2 [/h2] [h3] header3 [/h3] [h4] header4 [/h4] [h5] header5 [/h5] [h6] header6 [/h6]
• [code] source code or script [/code]

Asking questions

To ask a question from the Compose screen, simply end your sentence with a question mark. The app will understand that you’re asking a question and it will be posted to Aurea Social as such.

Marking an answer

Once a question you’ve posted to the stream has an answer you approve of, you can mark it so others will see the accepted answer.

 

When viewing the detail screen for your question, simply tap the check mark on the answer you think is best.

Commenting and answering

When you tap on a message or question in your stream you will be taken to the detail screen, where you can then Comment or Answer.

Add Answer

By tapping on a poll in your stream, you will be taken to the detail screen for it.

Tap an item to vote

Voting is as simple as tapping the item you would like to vote for.

Liking and following-up

Tap flat to follow and star to like

When you are viewing the detail page for a stream item, you can add it to your list of follow-ups by tapping on the flag. To like an item, you can tap on the star. Tapping either the flag or star again will toggle it off.

Workflow

You can create and interact with workflow events in 4.5. The app will convert a private message that contains hashtag #requiresapproval into a workflow event.
