The "my bigtent" area pulls together information that is specific to you as an individual in BigTent. Read on to learn more about what you can do in this area.
If you are a member of more than one group, upon sign-in, you will land on the "my bigtent" page where you can launch into any of your multiple groups and quickly review all the new content in each of your groups. If you are only a member of one group, you will land on your group's "buzz" page upon sign-in. The group "buzz" page also provides an overview of all recent activity and other important information, but for a single group. Think of the "buzz" page as a launch point into all the information and content for one specific group.
The "what's new" page provides an overview of new information that may be of interest to you, as well as reminders or alerts about tasks that require your attention. Click on your "tasks" in the right-hand box to view invitations to join new groups and other tasks. In the center of the page, you'll see updates to your groups' content (if any) including upcoming events and new forum posts. Click on any of the headings to go to that area of your group.
