ItemType Configuration Options
Copy
The settings for the configuration of message visibility are found on Discussion Template, as described in full in section DiscussionTemplate above.
Figure 35.
Table 7: Discussion Template settings
| Property | Description |
| Default Visibility Identity | (item: Identity) Identity to be used as the default shown in the Share with selector. A blank value means World. |
| Message Visibility Supported | (boolean) if ON, the Share with selector is exposed in the Discussion Panel of any items of the given ItemType. If OFF, the selector is not exposed, and all messages are set to visibility = World. |
Based on these settings you can achieve the following behaviors for the Share with selector.
Table 8: Share with selector behaviors
| Settings | Behavior |
| Message Visibility Supported = OFF | |
| Message Visibility Supported = ON Default Visibility Identity = (blank) | |
| Message Visibility Supported = ON Default Visibility Identity = Change Control Board |
The point of the Default Visibility Identity is to provide a way to restrict messages by default to a smaller subset of users, rather than forcing the user posting the message to always must remember to set something other than World.
