Domino.Doc 3.5 User's Guide - Lotus documentation - Lotus software

Creating the first main topic for a discussion forum
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 document creation or at any time thereafter.
To create the first main topic perform the following steps:
1. Select the document you want to discuss by clicking on its info button
to open the profile.
2. Choose Discussion - Create Forum Topic.
3. Enter a subject for the topic, and your comments, in the boxes provided.
4. Click Save to create the topic.
5. Click Return to return to the document view.
The document profile now shows an icon and a link to Go to Forum.
You can also create a topic by choosing Discussion - Create Forum Topic
when you have a document’s Security, Revision History, or Activity Log
open.
Opening a discussion thread and adding topics or responses
If a forum has been started on a document, you can create a new topic, or
respond to a topic already in the discussion thread. You can get to the
forum from all document views: Profile, Security, Revision History, or
Activity Log.
Selecting Go to Forum opens the newest main topic that was created for this
document. From the forum you can view the entire discussion thread,
including all main topics and responses, (insofar as your user security level
allows).
Note Responses cannot be nested to a depth greater than 32.
To add a topic or response to a forum:
1. Open a binder and select the document being discussed.
2. Open the document profile.
3. Choose Discussion - Go to Forum, or click the Go to Forum link.
4. To add a new topic click the New Main Topic button.
5. To add a response select a topic or response and click the New
Response button.
6. Enter the topic subject and your comments in the space provided.
7. Click Save to create the topic.
8. Click Return to return to the document view.
