Use

In the portal, rooms are launched using a link that contains the Internet address (URL) for the room. You can obtain the link for entering rooms in several ways, for example:

·        Outside rooms

¡        In the room directory

¡        After creating the room

¡        In an invitation e-mail

·        Within a room

¡        In the list of related rooms

¡        In different iViews that provide access to rooms

Integration

You can display the Internet address (URL) for a room on the maintenance screen for the room attributes in the General Informationsection. See Room Maintenance.

Prerequisites

Registering as a member

To enter a room, you must be registered as a member of the room. Member registration takes place when the room is created or the owner (or another member with maintenance permissions) maintains the room.

Registering a member in the room comprises the following activities:

·        Adding the portal user to the member list

·        Assigning room roles (access permission for pages in the room) to the member

Description

Entering a room through the room directory

The central point of entry to rooms is the room directory.
On the three tab pages in the room directory, you can display rooms of all room types according to the following criteria:

·        My Rooms
Contains all private and restricted rooms that you can enter as a registered member

·        Restricted Rooms
Contains all restricted rooms irrespective of whether you are a member of them. As a member, you can enter these rooms. If you are not a member, you can visit only its public pages or request membership (registration).

·        Public Rooms
Contains all public rooms independent of your membership; you can enter these rooms without restriction.

Entering a room by invitation

Since every room can be launched through its Internet address, every registered member can enter a room using the link containing its Internet address.

The link can be provided as an invitation to enter a room in the following ways:

·        By the system, once you have created a room in which you are a member or which contains public pages

·        From the room owner (for example, by e-mail, assuming the text has been set up in advance)

·        In iViews

Entering a room as a related room

If room relationships are defined in a room (see Room Maintenance), you can use the links provided to enter related rooms from within a room.

You can only enter a related room if you are a member of the related room or if the related room contains public pages.
