Chat

 

Click "Chat" button from toolbar.

Note: "Chat" feature is NOT available when connecting from ISL Light to ISL AlwaysOn (Unattended Access). 

Note: If you receive a new chat the ISL Light icon will start flashing if the application is out of focus. A notification with the number of new chats will also be added next to the "Chat" button.


Features

In the ISL Light chat, the following options are supported:

  • Single and multiple line text - The words are being wrapped at the end of the line and text is continued in a new line without being sent to the opposite side until the user presses "Return" key or  "Send text" button.
  • Insert links - Internet links can be inserted using a simple copy / paste operation. They are pushed to the opposite side when the text is sent.
  • Copy and clear - "right-click" on the chat area to clear the text history or copy it.
  • Open in text editor - "right-click" on the text area and select "Open with text editor option" to open the chat history with your default text editor.
  • History - The chat history is saved and can be viewed in the report option within your ISL Online account.

Server license users: The chat history procedure for server license differs from the procedure for hosted service users - please go to this topic (the "Send chat transcripts" option) for more information.
