Discussions

Communication is the key to a successful project. The Work Room discussions tool is intended to facilitate communications between your developers, designers, or writers and the Employer. This is opposed to the Project Messages tool which is intended to facilitate communication between your sales team and the Employer.

Once project work is underway, use the discussions tool to easily organize different project topics into threads by starting a new discussion topic. Any replies will appear as threads beneath the topic. Start as many new discussion topics as you like. You’ll have a documented track record of all the discussions and attached files organized all in one place. This will come in handy in the unlikely event of a dispute.

Have files you need to include with your discussions? Just attach them to your discussions. We’ll automatically add the attachments to your Work Room Files.

To start a new discussion topic,

1. On the top navigation bar, click “Projects.”
2. Click the project’s title.
3. Click the Discussions tab.
4. Click the “Start Discussion” button.

The Employer’s replies will appear as “threads” beneath the topic and will be emailed to you.

To comment on an existing topic,

3. Click the Discussions tab.
4. Click the discussion’s title.
5. Click the “Add Comment” link.
6. Enter your comment and click “Add.”

The Employer’s replies will appear as “threads” beneath the topic and will be emailed to you.

We’ll automatically add the attachments to your Work Room Files.
