INSTANT MESSAGING

Saving a chat or instant meeting transcript to Mail
Note The features described in this topic are available only if your company has an IBM Lotus Sametime server, and only for Windows versions of IBM Lotus Notes.

IBM Workplace Managed Client users: If your company uses IBM Workplace Collaboration Services for instant messaging, features may differ from the IBM Lotus Sametime instant messaging features described here. For information on instant messaging with Workplace Collaboration Services, see the Instant Contacts section of IBM Workplace Managed Client Help.

You can save a chat or instant meeting transcript to the Chat Transcripts view in your Mail database.

1. In the chat or meeting window, choose Meeting - Save to Database.

2. To see the transcript in your mail, click Views - Chat Transcripts in the navigator, and open the document showing the name of the person you were chatting with and the date and time you saved the transcript.


For information on how to set a user preference to always save transcripts or be prompted to save them, see Preferences for saving chat transcripts to Mail.

Note When you open a transcript in your mail, a timestamp is displayed for each chat entry. Deselecting the "Add timestamp to message" preference affects only messages or meeting invitations that you receive -- saved transcripts always have timestamps.
