Discussions Page for an Object

All members with access to an item can list discussions for it. For example, everyone with Read access to a folder, subfolder, route, or project can list discussions for it. However, if the creator of a discussion has removed your access to the discussion, that discussion is not included in your list.

To access this page:


  1. Navigate to the Properties page for the item you want to work with.
  2. From the page toolbar for the item, click Categories > Discussions.

This topic defines these items:

Columns



By default, the system includes all discussions for previous versions of a file in the Discussions list for the latest version of the file. When you click the Discussions category in the Categories menu for a previous version, the page will be empty unless someone has created a new discussion for that version after a new version was added. Alternatively, your system may have been configured so discussions remain with the version they were originally created for.
