Add a New Post

To create a new Post on a Topic in the Team Review, you have three options:

• Create a blank Post
• Create a Post based on a predefined template
• Create a Post from a file link.

When you have created the Post you can create and edit text in it. You can also create links to elements and diagrams from the Project Browser, Model Search dialog, Model Views window and Element List, or you can link to related Team Review Categories, Topics or Posts. You can also insert links to external files, either in the text of the Post or in the links panel.

When you have saved the Post, other users can then reply to it.

Blank Post

To create a blank message into which you can type text exactly as you require, follow the steps below:

1. Either:

• Right-click on the appropriate Topic name in the Team Review window and select the New Post context menu option, or
• Click on the Topic name and on the New icon in the Team Review toolbar, or
• Click on the Topic name and press [Ctrl]+[N].

       A new Post icon displays in the hierarchy.
 

2. Type the name of the Post in the field just after the icon, and click off the name. The Post text is displayed in the Team Review tab.

Post Based On Template

To create a structured Post based on a predefined template, follow the steps below:

1. Right-click on the appropriate Topic name in the Team Review window and select the New Post from template context menu option. A new Post icon displays in the hierarchy.
2. Type the name of the Post in the field just after the icon, and click off the name. The Create New Post dialog displays.
    
   

3. Click on the Copy template drop-down arrow and select a predefined template for the Post contents.
4. Click on the OK button.
5. The template structure is displayed in the Team Review tab.

Post From External File Link

To create a Post based on a link to an external file, follow the steps below:

1. Open a file browser (such as Windows Explorer) and locate the file.
2. Click on the file name and drag it onto the appropriate Topic name in the Team Review window.

A 'New Post' item is created underneath the selected Topic, and the body of the Post is created in the Team Review tab. A link to the source file is created at the start of the message.

You can create and edit text around the file link, and add further links if required. You should also rename the 'New Post' item, by clicking twice on it.
