2328550 - Can SAP Jam External Group Members Create a New Forum Topic?

Forums are used to group general discussions, questions and answers, and ideas to focus upon. With full collaboration permissions, group members can ask new questions, add ideas and start discussions in a forum topic. Forum topic creators can change the forum topic's name and type, monitor the activity, choose a best answer for questions, and move an idea through an approval workflow. Group administrators can create, move, edit and delete specific forums or idea forums.

Your group administrator can create forum topics with any of four distinct forum types.

• Questions only: Group members are provided with a forum to ask questions. Questions are submitted to a group, group members provide answers, and the question creator or group admin can determine when the question has been answered.

• Ideas only: Group members can share their ideas where they can receive feedback, have their ideas voted upon and moved through an approval workflow with statuses (e.g., Submitted, In progress, Accepted, etc.).

• Discussions only: Group members are provided with a forum to start new discussions.

• Questions, ideas, and discussions: An unrestricted forum type that allows group members to ask a question, add and idea, or start a discussion in this general category.
