General

1. Features [top]
   The Chat allows you to have real time textual conversations with members of the groups you are a member of. Chat is thus only possible within a group and with the members who are present simultaneously on the chat.

   Opposed to forums, the conversations are not archived.

   The Chat tool is a simple tool to use and therefore has no advanced functions such as creating public rooms, ejecting participants, etc.

2. Access to group chat [top]
   To access the group chat, select the Chat tool in the home page. Then click on Chat with members under the desired group name.

   The chat opens in a separate window: this allows you to use other tools while chatting.

   The chat window is divided in three different zones: messages, people connected and textline. The people connected zone gives the list of all members connected to the chat.

3. Technical requirements [top]
   If you or your enterprise have a personal firewall, port 7000 should be opened.
