View source for Configuring CLIO Facilitator Discussions

{{DocumentationPage}}{{NeedsDemonstration}}

== Overview ==
Within each Program, there is a @Facilitation folder that contains all the information used by the Facilitator menu.  Within this folder, there is a @Discussion folder that contains all of the Discussions configured for this program.

== Understanding the @Discussions Folder ==
This directory contains all of the Discussions that will be used by the Facilitator menu.  Each file within this folder will be scanned and added to the Discussions section. 

== Creating a Discussion ==
Each discussion that is visible in the Discussion section of the Facilitation menu is loaded from the configuration files within a Program’s ‘@Facilitation’ directory.  To add another discussion, you only need to duplicate an existing one and update the content.  Below, I have opened the Hardware discussion in a JSON editor.{{Coding Template|Edit URL=https://cliomuseums.org/jsoneditor/?file=https://cliomuseums.org/clio/templates/facilitation/@discussion.json|Download URL=https://cliomuseums.org/clio/templates/facilitation/@discussion.json}}Similar to Activities, all of the information for a Discussion is stored within a single JSON file.  Each discussion has a name and description, as well as two configurable rich text blocks that can be used to provide different levels of information based on the audience.
