Chat

OOffix has two separate kinds of chat: one per office, and one for direct conversations between two people.

Office chat

Each office has its own chat, visible to everyone in it, separate from every other office's chat and from its BrainDumper Subjects. Use it for anything that's not meant to become a task: questions, coordination, a quick heads up.

Direct messages

From the Chat page in the sidebar, start a one on one conversation with anyone in your organisation, regardless of which offices you each belong to. Existing conversations are listed there, ordered by the most recent message.

Mentions and files

Type @ followed by a name to mention someone directly in an office chat. They get notified even if they're not currently looking at that conversation. Both office chat and direct messages support sending files.
