Activity Categorization Matrix

As community participants, managers and moderators view and engage with other people as well as content within the community, reporting tracks these actions.

Within reporting, there are two top-level categories of users: viewers (only looking at content) and active members. Active members break down into a spectrum from engagers to originators.

Each action* contributes to one or more of the six categorizations:

Action	Active Member	Interactor	Participation Types
