Event "Conversations"

When using the eSPACE Event Scheduler, you may be asking what are "conversations"?
They can be defined as a group of comments between a certain sub-set of people regarding the event.

Conversations exist in the Event Scheduler so that all communication and comments around an event can be streamlined and logged.

The very first thing you want to do before getting started with conversations is update your profile picture. This can be done by clicking "My Profile", located on the left sidebar of your dashboard, then select image, crop and SAVE. That's it! Now you are ready to use conversations!

CONVERSATIONS TAB

Conversations can be created/viewed/edited/deleted inside an event by clicking on the “Conversations” tab inside an event.

CREATING CONVERSATIONS

To start a new conversation, click the green “New Conversation” button.

NEXT, you will add the following (see attachment below):

1. Subject: This is the subject of what you want to discuss.
2. Is Private Conversation: If you want to keep the conversation private between multiple parties, then click this box.
3. Initial Comment: This is the first comment in the conversation and will get the conversation kicked off.
4. Add Attachment:  This is where you can add a file for reference (document, image, etc.) and this can be from your computer or the internal eSPACE document library
5. Invite others to the conversation! Just click within the desired box(es) to select others.
6. When ready, just hit Start Conversation

NOTE: If you invite an external contact to the conversation, they will receive an email when anyone in the conversation leaves a comment. Anytime they reply to a conversation email, it will be added into the eSPACE conversation.

After selecting "Start Conversations" you will then see the following:
