Forum extension

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

The Forum extension helps you create discussion topics on nodes (document, folder, mail or record). Also, there is a general-purpose forum available in the Dashboard view.

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

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

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

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