Orchestra also supports multiple workgroups because individuals often need to be members of more than just one member group. Orchestra allows volunteer committees to complete their tasks quickly by making it easier for them to access accurate information upon which to base their opinions and decisions. As new members join a particular project or issue discussion area, they are presented with an easy to follow chronology of events and instantly know to which level the discussion has progressed. You choose who is granted access to the site, or who may no longer view the information posted there. You can even choose which members may add postings or initiate discussions in restricted categories, and which members have read-only access.
Members are able to download, edit, and repost the information.
They may also add comments and start a discussion regarding the posted document. This eliminates lost messages, documents, and puts an end to excuses. The information is always available on Orchestra, and all members have been notified of its existence. You can devote part of your Orchestra site to address FAQs. This allows new users to find answers to their questions regarding your association or your Orchestra site without depending on you or an appointed moderator for an answer.
