This documentation page serves as a reference for Community and Chapter admins on how to enable and use this feature on their community.

The Discussions feature is a solution designed to foster community engagement by allowing members to discuss topics they share an interest in. This feature can be enabled at both the Chapter and Event levels, creating dedicated spaces for conversations and exchanges.

Please note: This is separate from Bevy Enterprise Discussions

Enabling Discussions in your Community

To begin, the Discussions feature must be activated at the Community site level. This initial activation is handled by the Bevy team. Community admins need to coordinate with Bevy's Customer Success team to enable the feature.

Making Discussions Available in Chapters and Events

After Discussions is enabled at the Community site level, there are two additional steps to make it available in individual Chapters and Events:

Step 1: Add Page Builder Component

The Discussions UI is a Page Builder template, that allows Admins to adapt their display as they wish. This requires the Discussion component to be added in the Chapter and Event page builder templates.

For more information on these components, you can refer to the Chapter Page Builder documentation and the Event Page Builder documentation

Step 2: Enable Discussions on Chapter and Events

1. Go to Chapter Dashboard:
   • Navigate to the Chapter Dashboard page.
2. Access Settings:
   • Select the "Settings" option.
3. Enable Discussions:
   • Locate the checkbox labeled "Enable discussions on chapter and all events" within the settings page.
   • Check this box to enable Discussions for the Chapter and all its associated events.

Congratulations!
You have successfully enabled the Discussions feature in your community.

Please refer to these additional documentation pages for more details on how to start and participate on Discussions and how to manage and moderate them
