Managing Chat Contacts

 
     

With XSites Desktop Collaborator you can maintain a "favorites" list of contacts with whom you want to chat. Any other users in your own XSite are added to XSites Desktop Collaborator automatically, but you're free to add any other XSite owner into your chat favorites list or remove them from the list at any time.

     
  Note:  If you have multiple XSites, each XSite account has a separate set of chat contacts so you can keep your favorites list for each aspect of your business separate.  
     

 

     
 

Adding Contacts

 
     

To add another XSite user into your XSites Desktop favorites list...

  1. From XSites Desktop Collaborator, click the Add Colleague button to the upper right of the contacts list.

  2. In the screen that appears, enter the XSite user's website address and click Lookup.
  3. A list of all users for that site appear in the box below. Select the contact you want to add into your contact list and click Add Colleague.

 

     
 

Deleting Contacts

 
     

To remove a contact from your XSites Desktop Collaborator favorites list...

  1. From XSites Desktop Collaborator, click Menu, Collaborator, Delete Colleague from the main menu.

  2. In the confirmation screen that appears, click Yes to confirm that you want to delete the contact.

 

     
 

Handling Contact Invitations

 
     

Just as you can invite others into your contact list, other XSites Desktop Collaborator users can invite you to their favorites list. If you click Accept, they're able to determine when you're available for chat and you can add them to your own contact list to do the same. If you click Decline, they will not be able to see when you are online or chat with you.
