Team members can contribute their thoughts on the topic at hand then engage in a back-and-forth conversation to add feedback and insights by posting comments, questions, and new subject matter.
Here’s what makes ICEcore forums really cool: discussions can include images, attachments, folders, and files, and links to other workspaces, expanding their scope and substance.
Discussion Views
- Typically, team members find it useful to view discussion entries that include the first few lines of each entry — the tip of the iceberg.
- Another alternative is to view a table of all the entries at once.
- Blog views display entries in their entirety in reverse chronological order.
Comments
- Comments encourage collaboration by allowing team members to respond to discussion entries. People can develop the subject, add new information, raise issues, or ask for clarification.
- Comments appear in the original discussion entry, immediately following its content, ensuring clarity and keeping related contributions together.
- Like the entries themselves, comments can include images, links, and attachments.
Comments to Comments
- Social networking requires more than stimulus/response. ICEcore forums enable a web of interactions that enriches the discussion. How? Team members can reply to the original entry or to any comment in the entry.
- ICEcore maintains the integrity of the discussion, numbering each comment to show the hierarchy of interaction.
