Inconsistent functionality in network

When i go to the CAAB group at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Cloud-Adoption-Advisory-Board/gp-p/CAAB_Private, I see the screen shown below with Unread items. How come I don't see this for any other groups?

How come I can't find this group in any of the spaces? I can only find it be searching for one of the members.

 

 

 

The randomly changing functionality in this network is VERY frustrating

  • Hi Dean_Gross The CAAB group is a group and not a conversation space.  We're partnering with the CAAB team to get this right, they have some specific functionality requests around membership management that currently can only be enabled via groups.  However we are working in real time to see if we can augment conversation spaces to support what they're looking for.  Hang tight!

      This is a perfect example of a reason that many of us are confused and frustrated. Apparently there a Communities, Community Spaces, Groups and possible some other types of containers that are not explained, documented or organized in any type of easy to understand information architecture.

      How are we supposed to find "Groups"?

      What is the functional different between a Group in this network and a Space?

        We understand your frustration.  We are learning as we go about capabilities of different types of interaction styles.  Groups is not something we have fully rolled out everywhere yet, we are partnering with the CAAB group in real-time so we have a test case that supports a real scenario.  We ask for your patience at this time, sorry this has been a frustrating experience for you.
