INSTANT MESSAGING

Saving a chat or instant meeting transcript to a file
During a chat or instant meeting, you can save the transcript to a file. You can then open the transcript from anywhere on your computer.

Note: The features described in this topic are available only if your company has an IBM Lotus Sametime server. The Macintosh version of Lotus Notes does not support some instant messaging features, for example, instant meetings and multiple-person chats.

To save a transcript to a file, follow these steps:

1. In the chat or meeting window, click Meeting > Save As File.

2. (Optional) Change the default file name and location.

Note:

The default filename includes the Notes hierarchical name or Internet name of the person you were chatting with (or, if a meeting, the name that is first in the participant list), the date and time started, and the TXT extension. (For example: "Dana SmithSalesAcme.2152005.316PM.txt.") If you rename the file, be sure to use the TXT extension.

3. Click Save.

When you open the file, 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.
