Smart Feature: Chat transcripts

When adding or editing a posting on a web page or creating a page layout, participants or Web Site Administrators can insert a list of links to transcripts of chat sessions. A transcript is the text saved from a chat session. When more chat session transcripts are created, the transcript list you inserted shows the additional transcript text automatically. You can select All transcripts or select individual transcripts.


How do you use this Smart Feature?

You can choose from multiple styles and formats for this Smart Feature. You can choose the list style, bullet, font, background, and more for the transcript links. You can also choose which chat transcripts appear.

When you view the page showing the inserted Smart Feature chat transcript links, you can click on a link and go directly to it. You can then view the transcript of the saved chat.


Where can you use this Smart Feature?

You can use Smart Features on any page in the Web Site, including the Interest Guide channel page.

  • You must have saved transcripts already in Web Site Manager.
  • When you are adding a posting, select Chat from the Layout drop-down list and select a layout showing the chat transcript feature. This inserts a link to selected transcripts in your page.
  • When you are editing a posting, click Format Chat Transcripts to format the list of transcripts. EXCEPTION: If you are creating your own page layout, the chat Smart Feature is not available.
  • Although you publish and format Smart Features in postings on any page, you update their content globally via the Web Site Manager console. To add transcripts, return to Web Site Manager and click the View active chats option. From there, save the transcripts of the active chats.

Note: You can use this Smart Feature only if your System Manager enabled participants to publish and enabled the use of chat sessions in this Web Site.
