Accessing the discussion forum

Access the discussion forum to view the discussion topics for the current site.
Within a discussion you can create new topics, as well as edit and delete topics you created. You can also take part in a discussion by replying to a topic.
  1. Navigate to the desired site.
  2. On the navigation bar click Discussions.

    Note: Within each site the component names can be customized. If the site manager has done this, the link in the navigation bar may have a label other than Discussions.

    This opens the discussion forum. The main page defaults to the New view so you are seeing a list of the topics created in the past seven days. The summary includes:

    • the topic title
    • the date and time the topic was created
    • the user who created the topic
    • the number of replies to the topic
    • a sample of the content
    • the tags associated with the topic
  3. Use the Previous and Next navigation buttons to move forward and backward through multiple pages of topics.
  4. Click Simple View to display only the basic topic information: title, creation date/time, and author.

    Click Detailed View to display the summary view.
