Chat & Discussion

Discussion Section Overview

The Discussion Section in Taffy Tree is a centralized space where team members can communicate, collaborate, and keep track of project-related conversations. Here’s a guide to help you navigate and use this section effectively.

1. Section Header

  • At the top of the discussion area, you’ll find the header, which identifies the section you are in. Whether it’s a Project Discussion or a Task Discussion, the header will clearly indicate the context of the conversation.

2. Chat Start Indicators

  • Below the header, the Start of Chat marker helps you identify the beginning of the conversation. This is particularly useful for long threads, allowing you to trace back to where the discussion started.
  • In ongoing conversations, additional markers such as Last Week might appear, helping to segment the chat by time periods, making it easier to follow the flow of conversation over days or weeks.

3. Comment Input Box

  • Text Input Area: At the bottom of the discussion section is the text box where you can compose your messages. The placeholder text prompts you to “Type your message here. Use @ to tag another user.” Tagging a user will notify them, ensuring that important messages are seen by the right people.
  • Emoji Button: Located to the left of the text box, the smiley face icon allows you to add emojis to your message, making the conversation more engaging and expressive.
  • Post Comment Button: On the right side, you’ll see the POST COMMENT button. Once you’ve typed your message, click this button to add your comment to the discussion thread.

4. User Mentions and Interaction

  • When participating in a discussion, you can easily tag other team members using the “@” symbol followed by their name. This will highlight their name in the conversation and notify them of your message. It’s an efficient way to direct attention to specific points or to involve certain individuals in the discussion.

5. Jump to Top

  • In lengthy discussion threads, the JUMP TO TOP link located in the top right of the section allows you to quickly navigate back to the top of the chat. This is particularly useful when you need to review the context of the entire discussion.

Suggested Image Placement:

  • Full Discussion Section Screenshot: Use the first screenshot to provide an overview of the entire discussion section, highlighting the header and the comment input box.
  • Comment Box and Interaction Tools: Include a close-up image of the comment box, focusing on the text input area, emoji button, and Post Comment button to emphasize the available interaction tools.
