The Discussions workspace can be the home page for a set of discussion forums. You can also use the Discussions workspace to house other types of folders.
Discussions workspaces can be particularly useful for site administrators, or other Novell Vibe users who are responsible for creating the overall structure of the Vibe site. For example, you can use a Discussions workspace to organize a set of company-wide discussions on various topics. This can help organize your Vibe site, so users know where they should go if they are looking for a particular discussion forum.
Navigate to the place in Vibe where you want to create the Discussions workspace.
Depending on your rights, you might create this workspace at the Global level, if you are creating a company-wide Discussions workspace; or you might create this workspace in a lower-level workspace, if the Discussions workspace is intended for only a smaller number of Vibe users.

Discussions workspaces in Novell Vibe can be used to organize information inside of existing workspaces, creating different levels of hierarchy within a workspace.
You can also use other types of workspaces to create hierarchies. For information explaining the advantages and disadvantages of using each type of workspace, see Section 2.7, Creating Workspace Hierarchies.
