Creating an Analytical Hub using Categories, Approval Process and Upvoting

[RachFeverBee (Rachael Power)]

A client of mine is interested in launching an Analytical Hub on Discourse Enterprise.

• Member creates a topic in the ‘Analytical Hub’ category
• The topic will need to be approved by the Community Manager before going live in the community
• The Community Manager will also add a Legal Disclaimer to the topic
• Members will then have the option to upvote on the topics

Has anyone done something similar? I’m thinking of a flow that may have been used for product ideas or feedback.

Most of these things can probably be done with Discourse.

The topic will need to be approved by the Community Manager before going live in the community

Can be done. Click on the category’s admin wrench > Settings > Scroll down to the ‘Moderation’ section and tick the require moderator approval of all new topics box.

The Community Manager will also add a Legal Disclaimer to the topic

Reviewers can edit the post in the review queue before approving it.

Members will then have the option to upvote on the topics
