Manage Forums
The forum module gives you the opportunity to get in touch with your users and build a discussion platform.
This can be especially helpful for product support or (internal) meetings. You have the possibility to set up different forums on your website via forum groups, assign forum users certain rights for certain forums and much more.
This function is available in the following packages:
wisy base | wisy advanced | wisy pro | wisy expert |

Manage forum groups
The forum groups can be used to group forums, but can also be used to display only certain forums on one page, e.g. to make a "second" forum available on another page of your website.
Manage forums
Forums are assigned to a forum group and then displayed (according to the authorizations of the forum user groups) whenever the forum group is included.
Manage forum users
Forum users can be assigned different rights in this administration, e.g. to act as forum moderators. In order to manage these rights, these users must be assigned to corresponding forum user groups.
Of course, you can also manually create, delete, etc. forum users here.
