Discussion Forums & Announcements

Forums & Announcements webTeam allows you to create forums and announcements that ensure people can communicate easier and stay abreast of important changes that affect them. Here are some examples: Company Announcements Brainstorm New Ideas Product Recalls Document Meeting Minutes Announce New Sales and Accounts Tech Tips and Discussions Employee Birthdays Employee Benefit Changes HR & Finance Policy Changes Employee Suggestion Box IT System Downtime Bulletins Frequently Asked Questions

Empower your teams to brainstorm, exchange information, and share ideas. Forums are an excellent way for your teams to collaborate and have online discussions. Replace the scattered flurry of e-mail threads, phone calls, impromptu hallway conversations, and the time and expense of team meetings with a focused exchange of information and ideas. Your conversations will have a documented history that's easy to follow and respond. This will help you move your documents and projects forward more quickly while building consensus. With webTeam you can create forums by Web site, company, department, or project.

Three types of forums are available based on your need:

	General (for open discussion)
	Consensus (to reach a conclusion or decision)
	Announcement (for important news or information)

Each forum can have unlimited, multi-threaded topics. In addition, Project forums can have topics or threads associated to individual tasks. You have complete control over who can access each forum too. Forums can be open to everyone or you can restrict access by company, project, department, or sub-department.

Announcements & Forums Example

The Team Portal (or home page) for each department automatically displays all open Announcements and Discussion forums that apply to the individual reading the page. This helps to communicate important information to all team members and provides a centralized location for accessing this information.
