Discussion

Threaded discussions can be held on any topic, and you can maintain multiple discussions in your space (note these are all Web-based, and there is no Email component to the discussions).

Participate in a Discussion on a Topic: A Project administrator or content editor must add the categories for managing your topics, and then adding the topics themselves (such as a question, e.g. “Does anyone have a good background resource on performance reporting?). Add a discussion topic by using the “Add a Topic” button. After topics are posted, you can then create threads to a topic, by clicking "Start New Thread." Once a thread has been set up, all members may add content to the thread to the discussion. Simply Reply to the desired entry and your comment will be added.

Close a discussion: Administrators may close a discussion by clicking the edit icon and de-selecting the ‘Active’ box. This will automatically add the discussion to the ‘Inactive Topics’ archive. At any time, selecting the ‘Active’ box again may reactivate a discussion.

You can delete postings to a discussion thread by clicking the delete icon to the right of a discussion post. Note that you cannot delete the first post to a discussion thread.
