Create Forums | Online Help | Zoho Projects

Create Forums

A forum is ideal for teams to communicate outside the office, especially when dealing with long distances or many people. Using an online interactive forum, team members can create and participate in discussions, share important ideas, and store knowledge in a centralized location. Unlike emails, forum topics are easily accessible in one place, making it convenient for group projects.
 

Benefits

  1. Improve decision-making through access to relevant knowledge.
  2. Interact with team members scattered across the globe.
  3. Escalate critical bugs and get instant solutions from experts.
  4. Tap the knowledge, skills, and ideas in your team from a single place. 

New Post

Open a new thread and post an idea so your team members can participate and share comments, or post a review process and check your team's opinion before implementation. If you want to generate timely solutions, Zoho Projects lets you create an online group chat anytime.
