Blogger Levels

SAP Blogs introduces a 3-tier community blogger system based on experience and reputation elements. The purpose of this concept is to make our community healthier, more educated and protected.

• Subscriber: Entry level. 
• Contributor: Learner level. 
• Author: An experienced Community member. 

For more details on blogger levels, visit the Blogs page.

Ask a question

Before you jump into asking a question on SAP Answers, ask yourself first “Could it be that someone already had the same problem?” If the answer is “Yes” (and most likely it is), then check out the wide range of tools that SAP provides to find your answer. Please visit the Questions and Answers page for more information. Didn’t find the answer? Post a question by using the drop down menu on your profile (see below).

Finding and following tags

SAP Community content -- blog posts and questions -- requires a primary tag, which represents the content's main subject. You can search for all content with a primary tag, and you can also choose to follow a tag so you can have easier access to all content related to a specific topic. In some cases, these tags may even have associated community topic pages that further consolidate pertinent information.

The following materials can teach you more about understanding, finding, and following tags:

• Information about various tag types and their benefits
• Video showing how to follow tags and access community topic pages
• List of primary and secondary tags
• Explanation of the transition from SCN spaces to community topic pages
