Conversation Panels

This help page provides a field-by-field description of the two conversation panels.

  • All Conversations Panel - Allows you to view all conversations, to sort and filter conversations, to search for specific fields, to scroll between conversations, and to view a timeline showing when conversations were created.
  • Single Conversation Panel - Allows you to drill down into the contents of a specific conversation and view a timeline showing all comments made within the conversation.

Its easy to swap back-and-forth between these two panels and they function in an interactive fashion.
