Networks let you associate your account with different programs and organizations, such as your employer, your department, or a regional service provider.
Your network associations are used to determine your eligibility for participating in reward and challenge programs, and can also be used to limit your sharing and search results for carpooling.
You can join a network in a variety of ways:
During Registration
If the program you are joining uses email-based registration you can usually search for networks during the registration process. You may even have some networks pre-selected based on how you started your registration.
You can choose from and join any publicly-available networks that are relevant to you.
From Your User Profile
Click "Hi <Your Name>" to open the user menu, then click "Edit Profile."
Choose "My Networks" from the tabs on the left.
From here you can review the networks you are already associated with and search for other networks to join.
Private Networks
Not all networks are publicly-searchable. There are several ways you may be invited to join or automatically enrolled in such private networks:
Network Landing Pages
A program manager may share a special URL with information about the network and a link that allows you to join. Follow the instructions on the landing page to join the network.
Automatic Association
You may be automatically added to an employer network based on using your work email address to register. If the system you are joining uses Single Sign On, you may be added to certain networks based on information provided by the Single Sign On server.
Geographic Networks
Some programs have geographic restrictions for participation in certain programs. To manage your eligibility for such programs you may be automatically placed into certain networks based on your home and/or work address on your user profile.
Leaving a Network
Click "Hi <Your Name>" to open the user menu, then click "Edit Profile."
Choose "My Networks" from the tabs on the left.
From here you can review the networks you are already associated with. To leave a network, click the red REMOVE button next to the network name.
Some systems use primary networks to control certain aspects of how you access and interact with the system. In such cases you may not be allowed to leave your current primary network without joining another one and setting it as your new primary first.
