Selecting a topic

When saving an attachment to a topic, you can select a topic from a list of existing topics. Available topics are those that you can edit, which may include those that you created, that are assigned to you, or that have been made visible to a work team that you are in.

1.         In the Save to Topic dialog box, select the Add to existing topic option.

2.         In the Topic name field, enter a few characters of the topic name, and a list of matching topics will appear from which you can select.

Or next to the Topic name field click Browse. The Select Topic dialog box appears and lists the topics you can select.

3.         Optionally, filter the lists using the drop-down lists that appear above the table. (Lists appear above the table if the topic workflow configuration you are using offers this feature.) For example, if you select a project, only topics matching the specified project appear.

The application displays standard information about each topic as follows. Additional columns might appear, depending on the topic workflow configuration for your organization.
