What is a messages board?

A message board gives a way to post messages for discussion.
Users can be notified by e-mail when new messages are created and/or answered. This and other features can be configured by expanding the menu placed next to the "Messages List" web part title.

Messages can also be linked to records in a list (see below).

A message board can be added to any page as a web part. For details about how to add a web part, check the FAQ How to change the contents of a page?.

How can I link a record in a table with a message?

• Go to the "Design" menu of the table whose entries should be linked with messages.

• Click on "Edit Design"
• In the "List Properties" section, "Discussion Links" sub-section, enable one of the two possibilities "Allow one discussion per item" or "Allow multiple discussions per item".
• That will allow to add messages to single records when viewing them, by clicking at the "details" icon.

• To start a discussion, click the "DISCUSSIONS" link. The created messages will appear in the message board.
