Start a Discussion

Invite other users or groups to a conversation related to a record. Perhaps you have a subtle issue that needs input from several departments. Or, you have a document or specification that needs to be reviewed. A discussion thread allows those cases to be handled at the time most convenient to each user involved.

Start One on a New Record

A discussion thread can be created when adding a new record by checking the Start Discussion box at the bottom of the form.

Start One Later

You can start a discussion thread at any time:

1. Click on the Discussion icon
2. Enter the record number and click Go.
3. Enter a Subject, Message and select users and/or user groups to participate. Or, if any other discussion threads exist for the record, you'll see a thread list. Click on the Start New Thread button.
4. Click OK to save the new thread. Users and groups you selected will receive an email invitation with a link to see the new thread.
