Discussions Tab for Forms
Overview
The discussions tab displays the discussions that you have access to. In this
tab you can add a new comment to the discussion or reply to an existing
comment. Discussions enable you to communicate information about the
form outside the actual form. That is, you can discuss a form (assuming you
have permission to do so) even if the form has not been assigned to you. You
can also discuss the form with members who are not active participants in
the form (again, assuming the log has been configured to allow this). That is,
a member who is not an assignee, responder, approver, gatekeeper, or reviewer.
Discussions can be public or private. Public discussions can be viewed by all
form log participants but only members who have been given the explicit
privilege to discuss the form can start or reply to a discussion. Only discussion
participants will see discussions in their dashboards and receive notification
emails.
All form log participants can start a private discussion. However, a private
discussion can only be viewed by members that the thread initiator has
expressly invited to view the discussion. Only the member who initiated the
private discussion thread can add more participants to the thread. Once a
private discussion has been started it can not be changed to a public discussion.
Administrators can not view a private discussion unless he or she has been
invited as a participant.
NOTE Discussions are saved to a project and thus can be archived. Private
discussions can be archived but only if the user doing the archiving has access to
the discussion. After a form is closed, you can not add new comments.
To view a discussion:
1 Click the Discussions tab.
