Chat rooms organizing

In a big organization with many ongoing projects you may have dozens of chat rooms - private rooms with your co-workers and managers, group rooms with different teams dedicated to different projects and areas of activity, global company rooms.

It may be hard to keep track of all the important conversations and discussions, especially when you are involved in several projects or in a company management.

To help you keep the chaos under control we added a possibility to distribute chat rooms between several groups and organize your chat rooms list.

Keeping the most important rooms at hand

Any chat room, private or group, can be pinned to the top of the chat rooms list. To pin the chat room you need to:

1. Right click on it to open the room's context menu
2. Select "Pin chat room" option from the menu

The room will automatically move to the "Pinned" group at the top of the chat rooms list.

You can pin as many rooms as you need. However, we recommend not to overuse this feature as big amount of pinned rooms may compromise its efficiency.

You can unpin the room at any moment using the room context menu. The room will move to "Private" or "Meeting" group in this case.

Navigating through private and meeting rooms

Private and meeting rooms that are not pinned or archived are grouped to "Private" and "Meeting" lists accordingly. Such grouping makes it easier to find a needed room. It's also possible to collapse the group you rarely use and make the whole list of rooms shorter.

Hot topics

Rooms in all groups are sorted by the newest message. Thus, when a new message comes, the room automatically moves to the top of its group.

Hiding abandoned rooms

When a project is over, its room becomes abandoned. However, it may contain important information about the project and many useful artefacts. So it's good to keep it but hide from the list of active rooms. The same applies to private rooms with co-workers who have left the company.

The solution is to archive the room. Archived rooms are automatically moved to "Archived" group at the bottom of the chat rooms list.

To archive the chat room you need to:

1. Right click on it to open the room's context menu
2. Select "Archive chat room" option from the menu

You can unarchive the room at any moment using the room context menu. The room will move to "Private" or "Meeting" groups in this case.

Please note that a room can stay in one group only. So if you pinned the room or archived it, you won't be able to find it in "Private" or "Meeting" groups.
