Hello,

Don't see it, but does the Discussion View support categories?  For example, if I created a "Category" column for my Discussion items, does the Discussion View web part support grouping all the like categorized items together?

Hi Brian,

Yes. Go into the ezEdit configuration panel and edit the Display Fields.  You can then choose the Category field to be displayed. I would set the number display number to '1' so it's the first column.

Then click 'Edit' in next to the field name to configure properties on that specific field. At the very bottom of this dialog you'll see a "Grouped" field. Turn on this checkbox and you should be all set.

One thing I forgot to mention.  It's also possible to have discussion topics in multiple categories. Look in the help under "Complex Category Overview".
