Discussion Objects consist of Discussion Threads, documents, or WorkView Objects.
A Discussion Thread is a running discussion on a particular topic, initiated by a single user, and composed of posts from users that have rights to the Discussion Thread.
-
Discussion Threads can be attached to individual documents, WorkView objects or placed in a workspace as a standalone thread.
-
Threaded Discussions can follow a document through Workflow or keep track of a discussion on a WorkView object.
-
More than one Discussion Thread can be attached to a document, and users can view the Discussion Thread from the document regardless of from where in OnBase they accessed the document (e.g. Document Search Results list from Document Retrieval, Custom Queries, Folders, Cross-References, etc.).
