A fusionCore **Community** is a group within an association — a chapter, committee, task force, board, or working group. A Community tracks who belongs to it (members) and what role each person holds (positions) over time. A fusionCore Community is **not** the same as a Salesforce "Community", "Digital Experience", or "Experience Cloud" site. Those are public-facing web portals. A fusionCore Community is an internal grouping feature built on three custom objects, and the fusionCore member-facing portal is a separate product. This guide covers only the fusionCore Community feature. ### How the Data Fits Together The Community feature uses three custom objects. * A **Community** (`FS_Community__c`) is the group itself — for example, the Membership Committee. * A **Community Member** (`FS_Community_Member__c`) links a **Contact** (the person) to a Community. * A **Community Position** (`FS_Community_Position__c`) is a dated role that a member holds, such as Chair or Member. One member can hold more than one position over time. So a Community has members, and each member can have one or more positions. ### Create a Community These steps create the Community record itself. You add members afterward. Click the **App Launcher** (the nine dots at the top left), type **Communities**, and click **Communities**. On the Communities list view, click **New**. Communities list view with the New button highlighted. Enter a **Name** for the Community. Then choose a **Type** — either **Chapter and Committee** or **Task-Force and Working Group**. New Community form showing the Name field and the Type picklist. Click **Save**. The Community **Name** must be unique. fusionCore blocks you from saving a Community with the same name as an existing one. The Community **Type** you choose determines which **Role** values are available when you add positions to members in this Community. Choose the Type that matches the kind of group you are creating. ### Next Steps Once the Community exists, add the people who belong to it. * [Add a Community Member](/end-user-guides/accounts/communities/community-member/index) ### Limitations and Common Pitfalls You cannot delete a Community that still has members. Salesforce blocks the deletion while members are attached. Remove or end the members first, then delete the Community. ### Related Features * [Contacts](/end-user-guides/accounts/contacts) — every Community Member links to a Contact, so the people you add here are existing Contact records.
