Summary
So to summarise, there are two ways to have an online discussion.
- Discussions item
- Select the Discussions item.
- Select the new topic button.
- Create a topic then select OK.
- Send an alert.
- New comments will initially appear in red.
- Add to the discussion by selecting the add a comment button.
- Intercom icon
- The member icon displays who is currently online in the eRoom.
- Select the intercom icon to open a discussion.
- Type a message then enter then await a response in the intercom window.
- The intercom icon will have a moving member within it to denote an intercom discussion has started.
IMPORTANT: A discussion held using the intercom function will not be saved. You will need to copy and paste any comments you feel should be saved into a note within the Shared Workspace.
The next section, Setting up and receiving notifications, explains how you can set the Shared Workspace to issue automatic emails to you at specific times.
