To foster a truly collaborative environment, OpenOceans Global is offering Experts and Leaders the ability to use Share Space, hosted by Slack. Slack transforms the way organizations communicate by bringing people together to work as one unified team.
Click here to go to Share Space where you can exchange information by category, instant message other Experts and Leaders, and find other tools.
The first time you enter Share Space, you will be asked create a profile in Slack which will log you in.
You will first be asked for your workspace URL: https://openoceansglobal
If you already have a Slack profile, you will be asked to log in using that profile.
Once logged in, you will be redirected to the Slack App and should choose the OpenOceans Global workspace. If you are new to Slack, that will be the only workspace available. If you are already a user, then multiple workspaces might be available.
Once in the Slack App, you will initially be in the “general” channel. You can choose the appropriate expertise channel in which to provide information or send a direct message. These are the available channels:
To help you get started we have provided information from Slack's Quick Start Guide below. For additional information, check out this video for a quick tour.
Tip: When you're ready for more, see our Slack 101 and video tutorials.
From the sidebar, you can access your conversations in Slack. You'll see a list of channels you've joined and your direct messages, notifications for specific conversations, and the option to compose new messages.
In Slack, work comes together in dedicated spaces called channels. Channels bring the right people and information together for any project, topic, or team. Unlike email, discussions in channels are focused around specific topics, so you can join and leave them as needed.
Channels are fundamental to working in Slack — they bring the right people and information together in one place, and make it possible to organize work around a common purpose.
From the channel header, you can access details about the channel you're in. Click the channel name to see details like the channel topic and description, plus any added files. Use the other tabs to see who's in the channel and view other conversation settings.
When working in Slack, you have a variety of messaging options available from the message field to help you communicate and connect with your team.
Format your messages to add a little clarity or pizzazz — bold the most important items, break out thoughts with bullet points, and more.
Use the navigation icons to go back and forth in your history (just like you would in a web browser) or view recent conversations, search for information, or get help with Slack.
The history icons provide quick access to recently-viewed items. Use the left and right arrows to go back and forward in your history, or click the clock icon for a list of your recent channels, DMs, search results, threads, and more.
