In order to create a discussion along with a first note, proceed as follows:
• Select File New Discussion in the top menu.
• In the ‘Add Discussion’ form, enter the name of the new discussion in the ‘Name’ field (if no name is entered the name of the first note, i.e. the text in the ‘Subject’ field, will be used).
• Choose the type most appropriate for the contents of the note you are about to create (for the diverse types see above).
• Enter the text of your note into the ‘Message’ field. If you enclose your text with <P> and </P>, HTML tags in the text will be interpreted by the browser (Example: <P> <b>bold text</b> </P> will result in bold text).
• Enter the gist of your note in the ‘Subject’ field.
A discussion is always generated along with a first note, but may well exist without notes: you may remove all notes from a discussion using Cut or Delete and add new notes later. This could make sense when you install a workspace for a group and want to fix a place and name for a discussion forum beforehand.
