Each project in activeCollab has an area for discussion. To access it, click on the Discussions tab:
This part of activeCollab is similar to an online forum, with topics containing the most recent comments listed first. You can also mark some discussions as 'Important' and pin them to the top of the list.
To start a new discussion, click the New Discussion button. On the following form you will then be able to enter the topic title, write a message, attach files and more.
At the end of the form you also have the option of notifying others that a new discussion thread has started. People you add here will also receive a notification each time a new comment is posted. Should the user no longer wish to receive these updates, then they can unsubscribe at any time.
Discussion Topics can also be organized by category. All available categories are listed as tabs on the right side of the page. Click any category tab to display the discussions that belong to that category.
To manage categories, click on the Manage Categories tab at the bottom of the list. A tool will then pop-up, allowing you to create new categories or rename / delete existing ones.
