Use

Rooms are virtual working environments in the portal. In a room, the member of teams or project groups can collaborate across time zones and between geographical locations. Depending on the purpose and confidentiality of the content, you can use different types of rooms.

Power users can create rooms based on templates that specify the layout, settings, and content of the room in question.

SAP delivers default settings and standard templates for room that you can change to suit your company-specific requirements.

Prerequisites
  • The SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal usage type is installed.
  • The basic configuration for the Collaboration functional unit has been completed.
  • The Content Administration portal role is assigned to your user.
