Outcomes

What is an outcome?

Administrators have the option of posting outcomes to the discussion and consultation pages after they have closed and sending them by email.

This feature allows administrators to show the users what impact their exchange of ideas has had: users want to know what their community took away from the discussions and/or consultations and what actions will be taken to implement their ideas! Whether it's sharing your analysis of the consultation, the transcript of a related press conference or the start date of a new project...

To read the outcomes:

1. Go to your discussion or consultation information page 

2. and click on 'participate'. You will find the outcomes in the section at the top of the page.

To edit outcomes:

Once a consultation or discussion is completed, administrators can post outcomes.

• write an outcome, letting the users know what your next steps will be.
