Create a New Discussion
Discussion allows users to have a conversation in the secured BoardWorks application in a message board-type fashion. During the setup process, the user can designate who will be involved in the conversation and if they will receive a notification about the discussion.
Please note: A discussion needs to be related to a meeting or an event.
From the Meeting Detail Screen, click on the Meeting Actions and choose Discussion from the dropdown to create or access a new discussion.
To start a new discussion, click on New
Enter the information, like an email, subject, and body, and then choose the recipients. Choose Send Email Alert to all Recipients if the Administrator would like the recipients to receive an email notifying them that there is a discussion post to read and respond to. Click on Save to start the discussion.
Please note: For the email to generate and for the committee members to see the discussion, the meeting must be published.
