Resident - Creating and Commenting on The Community Discussion Board
Community Discussions Overview
The FRONTSTEPS Community Discussion feature allows residents and managers to communicate and engage with one another in an open, forum-style environment — similar to a group chat.
Residents can post new discussions, share ideas, and comment on existing topics, fostering community connection and transparency.
If the feature is enabled, all users, except Concierge users will have access to Community Discussions.
Note: Manager approval is not required for residents to post discussions; however, Community Managers can remove discussions from the portal at any time if necessary.
