Adding Contacts You must subscribe to other Jabber Messenger for the Web users before you can communicate with them. When your subscription request is accepted, a contact is added to your Contacts list, and you automatically receive information about the contact's presence. See the What are Subscription Requests topic for more information on subscription requests. When you know a contact's ID, you can quickly add the contact using the Add Contact dialog box. If you don't know the contact's ID, you can search for it in the user directory. Add a contact 1. From the Contacts menu, click Add contact to and then a group.

From the Community menu, click Find user. 2. Enter characters in one or more of the available search fields (for example, First Name). Entering less information usually enables the search to return more results. You can also use a wildcard to see larger result sets. The wildcard can be * or % depending on the user directory service. Wildcard searches cannot be performed without entering at least two non-wildcard characters. For example, type Jo* to find all names that start with 'Jo'. You can enter more characters to limit the results to a smaller number. 3. The results of the search will display a list of names in the upper left-hand corner of JMWeb. Select the contact that you want to add, and then right-click. 4. Click Add person to contacts group from the shortcut menu, and then select a group. To create a new group, see the Managing Groups topic. 5. Enter the display name for the contact. 6. Click OK. 4

What is Presence? Presence lets your contacts know whether you are available, away, or do not want to be disturbed. Presence types The presence types you can use are: Available Indicates that you are online and at your computer. Free to Chat Indicates that you are available to chat. Away Indicates that you are away for a short period of time. Extended Away Indicates that you are away for an extended period of time. Do Not Disturb Indicates that you are online and at your computer, but that you do not currently want to chat with anyone. Within these presence types, you can specify status text to provide more detailed information about your current presence. For example, even though your presence may be "Available", you might want to specify "On the Phone" for your status text. Your presence The My Availability button is located in the top the JMWeb window. When you click the My Availability button, a list displays with all the presence types (Available, Free to Chat, Away, Extended Away, and Do Not Disturb). 1. Click the My Availability button. 2. Select a presence type from the list. Also, you can select a presence status text, and then how long you will be away if needed. 7

Your presence changes to the selected presence type. Each person who is subscribed to you sees the updated presence information. For example, if you change your presence from Available to Away in a meeting for one hour, your contacts are notified that your presence is now Away: Meeting, until 10:30. Add customize presence status text You can create customized presence status text to provide more detailed information about your current presence. For example, even though your presence may be Available, you might want to specify "Free to Chat" or "On the Phone". You can use the custom presence status text until you change your presence type, or you can save the custom presence status text for future use. 1. Click the My Availability button. 2. Select the presence type from the list, and then select Other. 3. In the text box, enter your status text, and then click OK when you are done. 8

Remove presence status text You can remove a presence status text you no longer use. 1. Click the My Availability button. 2. Click Remove state, then select the presence type from the list, and then select the presence status text you want to delete from the list. 9

What are Subscription Requests? Subscriptions refer to how you add others to your contact list. JMWeb does not allow you to be added to someone's contact list without your permission. Likewise, you must get permission from others to add them to your contact list. This concept is called subscribing to another person. By managing your subscriptions, you control who can see your presence information. Subscription requests While the procedure for adding contacts is available in the Adding Contacts topic, you may find the information provided here helpful in understanding subscription requests. By default, subscription requests are set to automatically accept all subscription requests and add this person to my contact list also. You can find the subscription request options on the Options menu, then by clicking Privacy and then by clicking Accept request automatically or Add the person to my contacts too options to select or clear the option. If you disabled the accept all subscription request and add person also to your contact list options, a number of things can happen when you subscribe to another person: The person receives a subscription request stating that you want to add him or her as a contact to your contact list. The person gives you permission to add him or her to your contact list by clicking Yes. The person can add you as a contact to his or her contact list by selecting the Add him/her to my contacts too option and by clicking Yes. The person denies your request by clicking No in the subscription request window. This person is added to your contact list without a subscription. 10

When someone attempts to add you to his or her contact list, a Subscription Request appears on your screen. You can either: Accept the subscription request from the person to add you as a contact on his or her contact list by clicking Yes. Add the person to your contact list also by selecting the Add him/her to my contacts too option and by clicking Yes. Deny the subscription by clicking No. You will be added to this person's contact list without a subscription. As you can see, the subscription request enables you to control who views your online presence. No one can add you to his or her contact list unless you permit it. Subscription options The subscription options enable you to control how subscription requests are handled by default. If you don't want to be bothered with subscription requests, you can tell JMWeb to accept all requests and to add the requester to your contact list also. You can accept all subscription requests and also add the requester to your contact list. However, you cannot deny all subscription requests in JMWeb. When you select the option to accept all subscription requests, JMWeb automatically accepts all subscription requests from anyone who wants to subscribe to your presence. By default, subscription requests are set to the automatically accept all subscription requests and add this person to my contact list also options. To accept all subscription requests: From the Options menu, click Privacy, and then click Accept request automatically to select or clear this option. When selected, all subscription requests are accepted. When cleared, you are asked every time if you want to accept or deny the subscription requests. To add this person to your contact list when accepting the subscription: From the Options menu, click Privacy, and then click Add the person to my contacts too to select or clear this option. When selected, this person is also added to your contact list. When cleared, this person is not added to your contact list. 11

Using the Whiteboard You can use the whiteboard for real-time drawing collaborations in one-to-one chats. The whiteboard has sketch tools, such as basic shapes, lines, background color of the whiteboard that you can use to create drawings and add to your contacts' drawings. Only one-to-one chats with JMWeb contacts use the whiteboard. The whiteboard feature is not available for conference rooms and non-jmweb contacts.

Conference Room Overview Conference rooms enable you to chat with a number of people within a conference room. People typically set up conference rooms to gather a specific group together, or to talk about a specific subject. Once you enter a conference room, you can see the presence of everyone in the conference room and can participate in the ongoing conversation. The different types of conference rooms Types of conference rooms that can be created are: Room Type Permanent Rooms Temporary Rooms Open Rooms Members Only Rooms Password Protected Rooms Description If the purpose of a conference room is long-standing (for example, a meeting place for discussing an ongoing project), it is usually created as a permanent room. That is, the conference room continues to exist, even when all members have left. Members come and go, as they want. Depending on the configuration of your environment, you may not have the option to create permanent rooms. The server can be configured so that only occupants with administrator's rights have this capability. If the purpose of a conference room is short-term (for example, a quick decision on where to go for lunch), it is usually created as a Temporary room. When everyone leaves the conference room, it ceases to exist. That is, the conference room exists only for as long as there are people in it. This is a conference room that anyone can join without being on the members list. The owner or administrator adds you to the members list in order for you to join the conference room. A password is required in order to join a password protected conference room. Affiliations within a conference room Affiliations have a permanent association with a conference room. Affiliation includes owner, administrator, member, unaffiliated, and banned. The following table describes the conference room affiliations: Privilege Owner Admin Description These occupants can modify conference room options, grant and revoke administrator privileges, add and remove membership, remove and ban occupants, and delete conference rooms. When you create a conference room, you are the owner of the conference room. You may also become the owner of a conference room if the current owner grants you ownership. These occupants can add and remove membership, and remove and ban occupants. 22

Privilege Member Unaffiliated Banned Description These occupants are members of an open conference room or members-only room. These occupants can join open conference rooms, but they do not have an affiliation within the conference room. These occupants are banned from joining the conference room. Privileges associated with affiliations Your affiliation in a conference room determines your privileges within the conference room. These privileges specified in the table below are defaults and can change depending on the implementation of your conference room feature. Privileges Owner Administrator Member Unaffiliated Banned Invite other contacts Yes Yes Yes Yes No Join an open conference room Yes Yes Yes Yes No Enter members-only room Yes Yes Yes No No Edit Member List Yes Yes No No No Edit Admin List Yes No No No No Edit Owner List Yes No No No No Change conference room configuration Yes No No No No Delete conference room Yes No No No No Ban occupants permanently Yes Yes No No No Remove participants temporarily from the conference room Yes Yes No No No 23

Managing Conference Rooms The conference room feature is available only if your Jabber Administrator has installed and configured this feature. Conference rooms enable you to chat with a number of people at once. All available conference rooms appear in the Rooms menu. You can join existing conference rooms that are open and unrestricted. If a conference room has been configured for members only, you must be a room member before you can join (contact the room's owner or administrator). If a conference room is password protected, you must know the password in order to join. Create a conference room When you create a conference room, you become the owner of the conference room. 1. From the Rooms menu, click Enter/Create room. 2. In the text box, type the name for the new conference room. 3. Click OK. The Room Configuration dialog box displays. Depending on how the Text Conferencing feature was set up on the server, the following options may or may not appear. 1. To make the room persistent, select the Make the room persistent box if the purpose of a room is long-standing (for example, a meeting place for discussing an ongoing project). A persistent room continues to exist, even when all members have left. Only room owners can delete a persistent room. If this box is cleared, the room is short-term (for example, a quick decision on where to go for lunch). When everyone leaves the room, it ceases to exist. 2.
