== Overview ==
The Forum Subscription Dashboard page is where your forum users go to manage their thread subscriptions. This dashboard can be a standalone page or just an element on a page geared displaying information to a specific user (ie. a user profile dashboard).

To construct your Subscription Dashboard as a page, complete the following steps.

== Steps ==
# Create a CommonSpot page with a name of 'Subscriptions Dashboard' using the Base Plus One template and place it in the Forums subsite.
# Place the ''Forum Subscriptions'' Custom Element on this page.
# Click ''Render Mode'' in the element interface.
# Select ''Display existing element data (content reuse)'' on the ''Rendering Mode'' tab.
# Select the ''Filter'' tab.
# Select Filter Type to ''Show subset of records''.
# Select the field drop-down as the ''User Name'' field.
# Select the operator as ''Equals''.
# Click the '...' button to open the ColdFusion expression window.
# Enter the text ''request.user.ptForum.profileid'' as the expression and check the ''force cache'' checkbox. Click ''OK'' and then check the box to ''Ignore ColdFusion error'', then click ''OK''.
# Select the sort order drop-down as the ''Thread Name'' field and ''Ascending''.
# Click ''OK'' on the render mode window.
# Click ''More'' in the element interface. Then the ''Custom Render Handlers'' menu option, and choose the ''User Subscriptions Dashboard'' Render Handler.
# Submit the Page.

== Update Configuration ==
Update the Forums Configuration for the 'UNSUBSCRIBE_DASHBOARD_URL' field. Edit the row in the datasheet and select the CommonSpot page that was just created.
