Sending text messages to contacts
Visual Nexus has an inbuilt text messaging system that you can use to send messages to contacts. You can send these messages either when you are in a meeting or when you are online but not in a call. It is useful for checking if a contact is ready to accept a call or join a meeting. It is also frequently used by participants in meetings to exchange notes without disturbing other participants in the meeting.
To open the text messaging window select [Tools] [Send Message…].
Sending a message
Once you have the text messaging window open, you can type the message into the lower panel in the window. Next you must select the contact you want to send the message to. Once you are happy with the message and that you have selected the correct contact, click [send] and the message will be delivered to your contact. Only contacts that are online will appear in the drop down list at the bottom of the window.
All your messages are in a single window so please be careful that you are sending the message to the right person.
If someone sends you a message the message window will automatically pop up with the message in the top pane. It will have the name of the person who sent you the message in front of the text. Simply type your reply in the bottom pane, check that the contact you want to send the message to is selected at the bottom of the window and then click send. Your message will be added to the list of messages in the top window.
