Creating a Discussion or TeamRoom

To create a Discussion or TeamRoom:

1. On the Sametime Welcome page, click the "Use Discussions and TeamRooms" link.



2. Enter your user name and password. You can obtain your user name and password from the system administrator or create your own through registration.



3. Click Create Your Own.



4. Enter a title for the Discussion or TeamRoom.



5. Enter a file name for the Discussion or TeamRoom.



6. Do one of the following:



• To create a Discussion, select "Sametime Discussion - Notes & Web (R5.0)." Select a Discussion if you want to create a public forum for business discussions but do not need to manage a project for a team of people.



• To create a TeamRoom, select "Sametime TeamRoom (5.0)." Select a TeamRoom if you have a project that you need to track online. TeamRooms allow you to enter information about people who are working on the project, deadlines for the project, and issues and tasks related to the project.



7. (Optional) To create an index of all the significant words in your Discussion or TeamRoom, select the check box next to "Create full-text index for searching." (Words like "the" and "of" are not included.) A full-text index is helpful when searching the Discussion or TeamRoom for a specific word or phrase.



8. Click Create. If a security warning appears, click Yes.



9. Click Back to return to the Sametime Programs page. You might need to click the Refresh button in your browser to see your Discussion or TeamRoom.
