Administrators and owners have access to the Discussion Forums Dashboard.

To view the Discussion Forums Dashboard:

The Discussion Forums Dashboard displays. By default, the Discussion Forums (by name) list option is selected.

The right pane displays a grid that displays all discussion forums and a summary of forums.

The columns of the Discussion Forums Dashboard's grid are described below.

Column	Description
Name	The name of the discussion forum.
Type	The discussion forum type (i.e., Adhoc, Course, or Session)
Status	The status of the discussion forum (i.e., Active, Inactive).
Created Date	For adhoc discussion forums, this is the date that the forum was added. For course or session discussion forums, this is the date that the Enable Discussions setting was first enabled for the course or session. If the course or session's Enable Discussions setting has been disabled then re-enabled, the Created Date will be the original date that the setting was enabled. For example, if the setting was first enabled on January 1, 2016, disabled on February 2, 1016, then re-enabled on March 1, 2016, the Created Date will be January 1, 2016.
# of Posts	The number of comments that have been added to the discussion forum.
