For example, an administrator in the banking industry may create a themed chat room such as "Foreign

Exchange Rates", where any users joining this room can discuss the foreign currency exchange rates and view

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.

Cisco Jabber for Windows 10.5 Advanced Features Guide

Chats

Chat Rooms

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.

Step 3 Click Join beside the room that you want to join. The rooms where you are already a member have a checkmark

beside them.

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

Filters search chat room using the criteria that you define for the search. You see a red badge, which displays

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

Cisco Jabber for Windows 10.5 Advanced Features Guide

Chats

Join a Room

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.
