How to post a comment on a group

Prerequisites

Groups can be configured so that comments can be posted:

• Only by group members, or
• By someone not registered to the group ('the public').

When a group is open to the public, comments are typically first routed to a moderator.

To post a comment in a group:

1. View the Group homepage or Discussions page for the group.
2. Click the plus button on the top right of the page then click the Post comment button on the top right of the page to open the comment dialog.
3. Enter a title for your comment in the Title field – content in this field is required.
4. Enter the content of your comment in the Your comment field – content in this field is required. You can use the formatting icons at the top of this field to style your content.
5. To make the comment a task, click the Make this comment a task option.
1. Then, you must assign a status – make a selection from the drop-down.
2. You can also assign a priority, assignee and due date for the task – these are not required.
6. Add labels by selecting one of the available labels, or add a new label by clicking the icon. To remove a label, click the label to clear it.
7. Attach documents by clicking the Attach files button.
1. Navigate to and select the files. The filenames display.
2. To remove individual attachments, click the icon to the right of the file, and then click Yes to confirm the removal.
8. To change the message settings, click one of the message icons on the right.
9. Click the Post comment button to submit the comment.
