Help for Lotus Notes 8 (basic configuration) - Saving a chat or instant meeting transcript to a file

INSTANT MESSAGING

Saving a chat or instant meeting transcript to a file
Note The features described in this topic are available only if your company has an IBM® Lotus® Sametime® server. The Macintosh version of Lotus Notes® does not support some instant messaging features, for example, instant meetings and multiple-person chats.

1. In the chat or meeting window, click Meeting > Save As File.

2. (Optional) Change the default file name and location.

Note

The default filename includes the Notes hierarchical name or Internet name of the person you were chatting with (or, if a meeting, the name that is first in the participant list), the date and time started, and the TXT extension. (For example: "Dana SmithSalesAcme.2152005.316PM.txt.") If you rename the file, be sure to use the TXT extension.

3. Click Save.

When you open the file, a timestamp is displayed for each chat entry. Deselecting the Add timestamp to message preference affects only messages or meeting invitations that you receive -- saved transcripts always have timestamps.
