Start an Online Discussion

One of the speakers has submitted a paper for the conference and you’d like input from the rest of the team. You can use a public folder as a bulletin board so that members of the group can discuss the paper online. You must have permission to create items in order to post information to a public folder. Other members of the team need permission to read and post items to the folder.

Open the public folder you want to post to, and then click New Post in This Folder (Compose menu). After the item is posted, your co-workers can read and respond to the information.

Create a bulletin board   You must have permission to create subfolders within a public folder. Right-click the public folder, and then click Create Subfolder. In the Create New Folder dialog box, click the Folder contains arrow, and then click Mail Items. Sort posted information   Suppose the public folder contains posts about more than one session paper. You can click By Conversation Topic in the Current view box to sort posted information by conversation topic. Then open a post, click Next (View menu), and then select a navigation option to scroll through the responses in that group. Organize how items are posted to a public folder   If you have owner privileges, you can set rules to process new items posted to a public folder. For example, you can create a rule that sorts posted information by subject. Right-click the public folder, and then click Properties.
