Using instant messaging
To initiate instant messaging with a user, right-click the user’s name in the Extensions list and
choose
Send an instant message.
To send, type your message in the bottom pane, then click
Send.
For instant messaging to work, the receiving user must be running ViewPoint and have the
Instant Message Add-in installed and enabled. If this is the case, when you click
Send the
message window pops open for the receiving user, allowing him or her to respond.
Configuring instant messaging options
You can configure some instant messaging options by choosing Tools > Add-in Manager,
selecting “Strata CS Instant Messaging,” and clicking
Options.
