120 Domino.Doc 3.5 User’s Guide
Navigating the discussion thread
With a discussion forum open, you can view the entire discussion thread on
a document. It allows you to view all main topics and responses, insofar as
your user security level allows. A navigation display is included for every
main topic and response. This display shows a maximum of 21 documents
at a time, arranged in a topic-and-response hierarchy, with the current
document approximately in the center. (Its position depends on how close
the current document is to the very beginning or very end of the thread.)
To navigate through the discussion:
• Double-click any discussion document link to open the topic or
response document.
• Click the buttons on the toolbar as follows:
• Close to return to the document view.
• New Main Topic to create a new topic in the thread.
• New Response to create a response to an existing topic or response.
• Refresh to update the list.
• Previous or Next to move up or down the list one document at a
time.
• View All to open a popup window that shows links for all main
topics in the thread. Clicking a link in the popup window displays
the selected topic or response and closes the popup window.
• Search to enter a search query to find a particular discussion
document in a thread. You can search for text only in the discussion
document’s subject field and the document content. Search results
display in a new page where you can either perform a new search, or
view the search results. Each search result is a link that you can click
to open the selected document.
• Delete to delete every discussion document in the thread, or just the
current document. Deleting the current document also deletes all of
its response documents.
Note Only managers of the related Domino.Doc document (Discussion
Document Managers) can use the delete option.
Creating a new main topic for discussion
When a Domino.Doc document is initially created it has no related discussion
documents, and will not have any until you create one. This could be
immediately after creating the document, or at any time later.
Note If you are creating the initial topic for a forum you may have to close
and reopen the binder and document after creating the first main topic in
order to get the Go to Forum link to appear on the screen.
