Internal Discussions

The logic of the discussion is similar to discussions in applications like WhatsApp or Signal, but unlike them, the entire discussion takes place in the protected environment of the company or organization.

The second major difference from threads in the mentioned applications is that it has a factual topic – a subject that the discussion is about and which opens the entire discussion. The discussion then develops in the usual way, but from the beginning, it has a clearly defined topic that should remain the focus.

The factual topic should help:

• Keep the discussion on track and prevent it from drifting away from the subject
• Facilitate easy retrieval of the discussion later
• Allow others to join the discussion later, as it is clear what the topic is

Public and Private Discussions

Discussions always belong to one of the defined areas. People who have access to the area (active or as readers) can participate in any discussion from that area. Conversely, those who do not have access to the area cannot learn about the discussion in the system.

Discussions created on the main workspace are automatically placed into the standard group, which is typically visible to all internal users.

##Participants
Participants are people from the groups connected to the discussion. The discussion founder selects the groups to involve in the discussion – they can attach multiple groups.

In the discussion, the actual participants are:

• People from the groups chosen by the discussion founder
• People who joined the discussion themselves. Anyone who can see the area where the discussion is held can join.
• Conversely, people who were originally added to the discussion but then left are not included

Good to Know

Public Discussions May Not Be for Everyone

Access to public discussions is governed by access to the group where these discussions are placed. For example, if you have external users and do not want them to see internal discussions, set the group with access to the discussion area to internal workers only. External collaborators will then not have access to internal discussions.

The security of internal discussions is covered by this page,
