Threads in Cliq

Threads in Cliq

Threads are a group of related messages in reference to a particular subject or a topic made available exclusively in channels. When multiple people converse in a channel on various topics, you tend to lose focus on the topics that are being discussed. With threads, you can have conversations about multiple topics in the same channel by creating multiple threads, without causing any disturbance to other topics of interest that are being simultaneously discussed.

Configuring Threads in Cliq

Enabling threads in Cliq is quite simple. The admin of the organization has to configure the Reply modes for channel levels as "Threads" and the channel admin has to set "Threads" as the reply mode to allow the users to reply in threads.

Using Threads
