• New Response to create a response to an existing topic or response.
• View Main Topics to open a pop-up window that shows links for all
main topics in the thread. Clicking a link in the pop-up window
displays the selected topic, or response, and closes the pop-up window.
• 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.
• 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.
• Refresh (circling arrows) to update the view.
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).
