Knowing who to follow can turn into a full-time job if you let it. But why? Rock can do the work for you. Administrators can set up suggestion criteria under Admin Tools > Settings > System > Following Suggestions.

Rock ships with two suggestion types: In Group Together and In Followed Group. You can see how these types can be used in several different ways. You can even add your own suggestion types with a little bit of light development.

To add a new following suggestion, click the ti ti-circle-plus button at the top or bottom of the grid. This will bring up the page pictured below.

In Group Together and In Followed Group Settings

The settings below are available to the In Group Together and In Followed Group suggestion types.

Reducing the Confusion
The settings above can be a bit confusing. If you're feeling overwhelmed, looking at the settings for the suggestions that ship with Rock can help reduce this confusion.
