Discussions
This area requires the ‘Discussions’ addon to be enabled for your subscription
Discussions can be used by staff/volunteers to post & reply to topics of interest, as well as watching any discussions they may be interested in following.
As discussions are added to, people whom have already replied or are watching a topic will be notified.
Discussion topics are shown below, including whom last contributed to the discussion and when.
A topic can be shown as follows, which includes any replies which may have been sent through;
Adding a reply can be done easily by anyone - click ‘Add reply’ at the top-right, enter in your response and click the green ‘Add reply’ button below.
This will automatically notify anyone watching the discussion-topic (which would generally include anyone who’s already participated in the discussion, as well as any others whom have opted in to get notified).
Discussion topics can also be sent out as a message - eg. if you know someone in the organisation whom might be interested in also participating.
Topics are only shown to those in the group a topic has been shared with - ie. it might be a discussion topic for the management team to discuss, or something which are shared with support workers about how to help others in their team.
Managing discussions
If you make a mistake, 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.
