all previous messages sent to the room since its creation.
You can browse all rooms by viewing a list of room names, join open rooms, or be added to a room by an
administrator. You can be a member of multiple rooms. You can filter room content by keywords or senders.

Chats
Join a Room

Join a Room
You join a chat room to participate in the conversation or read what is being said, where multiple members
share information in a common chat window. All of the rooms that you are a member of are listed in your
My rooms tab. If an administrator adds you to a chat room, it is displayed immediately in your My rooms
tab.

Procedure
Step 1

Click the Chat Room icon in the Hub window, and select the All Rooms tab.

Step 2

Browse for a room, which are listed alphabetically.
If a room is closed you cannot join the room unless you are added by an administrator.
Click Join beside the room that you want to join. The rooms where you are already a member have a checkmark
beside them.

Step 3

Participate in a Room
After you join a room, you can participate in the chat room and view the discussion history. Some chat rooms
may be used to only distribute information, where some members are entitled to publish information and
others have read-only access.
Select the Chat Room icon on the hub window, and click on My Rooms to view the rooms where you are a
member. Double-click on the room that you want to enter.
When you enter a chat room, the history of conversation is persistent. Even if you exit a chat room and close
the client, you can return to the conversation in that room. When you return to the chat room, you can view
the messages that were sent by other members while you were not logged in. In a room, select Show More
to view older messages.
View the current participant list on the right side of the chat window. You can show or hide the participant
list.

Filter Rooms
Filters

the number of new matches found for your filter. Filters can include mentions when your username is used
in a chat room, or custom filters that search by keyword or sender.
In the Filters tab, select Create Filter. You can filter chat rooms using up to three keywords or by username.
Give the filter a label and then define the filter criteria. You must define at least one keyword or the username
of the sender, but you can specify the sender and up to three keywords. When you are done, select Create.
Results are listed on the Filter tab, with a number to indicate how many results were found that you have not
read. Results are updated automatically each time a new match for your filter is made. When you have matches

Chats
Search Rooms

on your filter, you can click on the filter match to open the chat history in the rooms where the matches were
found.
My mentions
When other users mention your username, it creates a notification in the My mentions section of your chat
room filters. Mentioning users creates a notification that they were mentioned in a chat room.
To create a mention for another user, in the text box of the chat window, type the @ symbol followed by the
person's user name to search the directory for the user. The client will display user names that match what
you are typing. Select the username that you want to mention. You can mention a username that does not
have a Jabber ID associated with it. After you send the message, a notification is created for the mentioned
user in their My mentions, with a link to the conversation in the room where the mention is. You can use the
@ symbol as part of your text entry, just tap the Esc key to exit the mention field. Users only receive a
notification if the chat room is public and they are a user in the organization, or if they are a member of the
chat room.

Search Rooms
You can search the persistent chat rooms by keywords, and further refine your keyword search with criteria
such as participants, room name, and date range. You search persistent chat rooms by entering search criteria
in a search box, just like you search for contacts in your Jabber hub window.
After you specify search criteria, the search results appear as tabs within the integrated session window, much
like a chat room filter. Results are sorted chronologically and grouped by room. The maximum number of
results displayed is 200, although you can show more messages to display more results. You double click on
a result to open the persistent chat room where the search got a match.

Chat Room Permission Levels
Administrators can restrict your participation in chat rooms by changing your permission level, which define
how you can participate in a room.
You may have one of the following levels of access to a chat room:
• You have read and write access to a room.
• You have read-only access to a room.
• You are removed from a room temporarily but can re-enter the room.
• You are removed from a room permanently and cannot re-enter the room.
