Getting Started
 What is Yammer?
      Yammer is a communication tool for organizations
      You post messages and respond to your colleagues’
       messages
      You see messages from the people, groups, and tags that
       you follow
      Yammer networks are private. A valid company email
       address is required to join. For example, members of the
       YourCorp network need an @yourcorp.com email address.



 Yammer Messages (Yams)
      To post a Yam, type your message then click “Update”
      Your followers will see your yams
      There are two ways to send a Yam to a specific person and
       be sure that they will see it:
              o @address the person (Yam is visible to anyone within
                your network): Anywhere in your message, type the "@"
                symbol followed by the person’s name or username and
                Yammer will make suggestions as you type.
              o Direct Message the person (Private, not visible by
                others): At the beginning of your message, type
                to:username

Following
      You can follow people and tags. When you follow people
       you will see their messages. Similarly, you will see all
       messages with tags you follow.
      To follow a person, go to the “Members” directory and click
       the follow button next to their name and picture.
      To follow a tag, click on the tag when it appears in your feed,
       then click the follow button
      You don’t need to follow groups. Instead, join groups and you
       will see their messages



 Groups
 Groups are a great way to reach a more targeted audience within
 your Yammer network
      To create a group, go to “Groups” > “Create new group”
      To join or leave a group, go to “Groups”, where you will see
       a list of the groups in your network. Use the “Join” and
       “Leave” buttons to join and leave groups
      To post a Yam to a group, click “My Followers” above your
       message to choose a group to post to

Attachments
      To attach a file to your message, click "Attach File"
       underneath your message, and choose the file you would like
       to attach
      All file attachments are accessible in “Content” > “Files”
      All image attachments are accessible in “Content” > “Images”
      Any file or image you’ve previously attached can be
       downloaded by any member of your network



 Feeds
 A feed is a stream of related messages. You can view the
 following feeds:
      My Feed (main feed) - Yams from people you’re following
       and groups you’re in
      Received - Yams @addressed to you
      Direct Messages - Private Yams you've sent and received
      Sent - Yams you've sent
      Liked - Yams you've liked
      Bookmarked - Yams you've bookmarked
      All - all non-private Yams within your network
      Groups - Yams posted to your groups

Tags
 Tags are a useful way to organize and find Yams.
      Tags look like "#example” and are added to Yams. Once you
       post your Yam, your tag becomes a link to all Yams with that
       tag
      To follow a tag, click on the tag when it appears in your feed,
       then click the follow button



 Search
      Using Yammer’s search, you can find messages, people,
       groups and tags
      The search results page also features an advanced search
       function that allows you to further refine your search
