Creating a Discussion from the Discussions Tab

You can use the global Discussions application to create a discussion in any of the workspaces you are a member of.

Note: Project managers and other team members with administrative permissions may find it more convenient to use the workspace-level Discussions application for creating and managing discussions. For information about how global applications and workspace-level applications compare, see Applications Overview.

To create a discussion from the Discussions tab:

1. Open the Discussion application.
2. On the Tab Toolbar, click Create Discussion.
   The Create New Discussion window opens.
3. From the Create In list, select the workspace in which you want to initiate a discussion.
   The default workspace is the workspace you selected the last time you created a discussion.
4. Type the name of the discussion in the Topic text box.
5. Select the folder in which the discussion should be stored from the Folder list.
   Note: If no folders have been created, the default General folder is your only option. For details about application category folders, see Creating Folders.
6. Type a discussion message in the Message text box. This message is the beginning of the discussion and is what other team members will respond to.
7. In the Notifications &Permissions section, select the team members who can view the discussion, and the team members to be notified that the discussion has been created. For more information, see About Notifications and Permissions.
8. If you want to include a custom notification message, select the Type Custom Notification Message checkbox and type the message in the Notification Message box.
   This comment is included in the notification that is sent to users selected in the Notifications & Permissions section.
9. Click Save & Close to save the discussion and close the window. Click Save & Add Another  to save the discussion and begin another discussion. Click Cancel to cancel the discussion.

Note: The new discussion will not appear in the list until you refresh the list by clicking the Discussions tab.
