Participate in discussions and mailing lists
CollabNet
TeamForge
discussions provide workspaces
where project members can discuss project-related topics online or by email.
- Create a forum topic
Create a new forum topic to begin discussion of a new subject.
- Search for posts
Search for a post by using keywords, specifying the forum it belongs to, selecting the sender of the post or entering relative date or date range.
- Reply to a forum message
You can post a message in any topic in any forum you have access to. You can also post a message in reply to another message.
- Subscribe to a mailing list
When you monitor a discussion forum, you are notified of contributions to the forum by email. Monitoring a forum is the same thing as subscribing to a mailing list.
- Post to a forum by email
If the forum administrator has enabled a mailing list, you can create a forum topic by sending an email message to the forum. You can also reply to a post by replying to the email.
- Associate forum messages with other items
When a forum message concerns some other CollabNet TeamForge item, such as a document, a tracker artifact, a file release, a code commit, or a task, link the message to the item under discussion by creating an association.
- Administer forums and mailing lists
Forum administrators create forums and do what is needed to keep them on track, such as editing or moderating forum posts.
