Post dashboard

When a topic is displayed in the Social Squared Forums Web Part, for each post in that topic, a post dashboard is displayed. A post is created when a topic is first created and for each reply.

The post dashboard allows you to:

• See who created the post, with information from the user’s Profile, for example, the number of posts they have created within Social Squared, one or more badges that represent their achievement level / reputation, signature, and if chat is enabled, a link that allows you to instantly chat to the user if they are online.
  
  
• Post subject. This is the subject or title of the post. When you reply to a post, the default subject is the same as the subject/title of the post being replied to. This can be changed when the post is created. You can modify the post and it’s subject if you created the post or if you are a moderator of the forum.
  
  
• The ability to vote on the post, and to see the number of votes by other users. This option is only available if voting has been activated for for the forum.
  
  
• Post description. This can include formatted text, as well as links, images, video, and emotions.
  
  
• Post attachments and links to list items and files in libraries.
  
  
• Tags. When tagging is enabled, the creator of the post can associate keywords with the post. Keywords quickly tell users what a post is about. Tags also make it easier for users to find content especially when the Social Squared Forums Tagging Web Part is added on the same SharePoint® page as the Social Squared Forums Web Part.
  
  
• Links that allow you to manage the post:
  • Delete. Use this link to delete the post. A dialog box displays asking if you are sure you want to delete the post. Using the Social Square Forums Web Part there is no mechanism to undelete a post. To retrieve deleted posts you need to contact your IT department.
