Creating a New Discussion for an Item

All members of an item (workspace, project, folder, etc.) can create new discussions for it. Everyone with Read access to the item can create discussions for it. After creating a discussion, you should define the list of people who can participate in the discussion. See Defining Access to a Discussion.

To create a new discussion for an item

1. Navigate to the category list for the item you want to work with.

For example, to list discussions for a workplace in Team Central, click My Desk > Team > Workspaces and then click a workspace name to select it.

2. From the category list for the item, click Discussion.
3. From the Discussions page, click Create New from the page Actions menu.

The Create Discussion page appears.

4. In the Subject text box, type a word or short descriptive phrase that describes the content of the message.
5. In the Message text box, type your message.
6. When finished, click Done.

The discussion is added to the Discussions page. At this point, anyone with Read access to the item being discussed can read and reply to the discussion message. To limit the number of people who can participate in the discussion, see Defining Access to a Discussion.
