Forum extension

OpenKM 7.1 comes with two user interfaces, called "classic" and "kcenter". Although both functionally are very similar, the layout and the way they are used may have significant differences. This page is based in the "classic" user interface. If you are using the "kcenter" user interface and have any doubts to access any of these features, please create a ticket in the support website.

The Forum extension helps you creating discussion topics on nodes ( documents, folders, mails or records ). Also there is a general purpose forum available from Dashboard view.

This option is only available if you have enabled the Forum feature.

Only administrators can create, update or delete forums from Dashboard view.

Only administrators can view the "document discussions" forum in Dashboard view. This forum contains all the node topics.

Nobody can delete "document discussions" forum in Dashboard view.
