SamePage Features
Forums, News & More Forums, News & More
SamePage leverages the Wiki concept to bundle in a number of optional collaborative-applications within the project like Discussion Forums, News, Issue Tracking etc. While they internally work like Wiki Pages , they provide different interfaces and additional features specific to that application. Further, all the rich features like WYSIWYG editing, tagging, versioning, attachments, search etc are also available for content created using these applications. These applications can be optionally enabled by individual Project Owners within their Projects if they feel the need for the same.
  • ForumsA Project can optionally have a Forum section where members can initiate new Discussion Threads or add their comments to existing Threads. The Forum landing page of the Project itself shows a complete list of Threads sortable by Author, Created date, Number of Replies etc. Forums would especially add value in Projects which involve a lot of discussion and collaboration.
  • NewsProject Owners can optionally create a News section in their Project if they envisage a lot of periodic News updates that would need to be sent out to members. The News landing page of the Project itself shows a chronological list of the News updates.
  • Issue TrackingThe optional Issue Tracking section allows Project owners/admins to create, assign and keep track of Project Issues. Issues have attributes like Severity, Status and can be assigned to specific members. Issues can be searched or sorted by different fields like Title, Status, Severity, Assigned To etc. Issue assignment can be optionally restricted to Project administrators.
  • RSS, Watch-lists & NotificationsUsers can opt to receive automated email notifications for Forums, News or Issues from any Project they belong to. Users can also choose to subscribe to a specific Thread or Issue. These email notifications are sent out at the time of creation or when new comments are added. Alternatively, users can choose to receive RSS updates in their feed-readers instead of Email notifications.
  • Comment via EmailThe Comment via Email feature gets leveraged in the Forum and Issue tracking application as members can reply back to discussion threads or issues via email which will automatically get added to the respective thread or issue as a new comment.
