The dashboard incorporates an area where topics of interest can be posted by staff members, and replied to by other users of the system.
Topics are displayed based on the groups someone is a member of (eg. if a topic has been assigned to the 'Melbourne' group, everyone whom is a part of that group will be able to view & reply to the topic).
Replies can be edited by the person who added them, as well as any administrators of the group the topic has been posted in.
Topics can also be edited or removed by admins of the group if required.
