As an open system, CTC thrives on community involvement – and this idea has led to an active community in recent years. This community now has its own place on the internet, offering similar features to a forum:

• AI-powered search through the extensive CTC documentation
• Ask questions to the community
• Create documentation to share your own CTC experiences
• Report bugs and suggest features for CTC development

The community platform is operated by the CTC team and can be found at https://mail.pi-data.de/community .

To use the AI search or create/edit comments, you must provide your email address. A one-time password (OTP) will then be sent to it. New customers' emails are automatically registered in the CTC system. Interested parties can request activation via email to info@ctc-system.de .
