The nerve center of NetLert 2.2.1 is the Communicator window. From this window, users select whether they want to chat, send an alert, create a white board session, poll a user or group, or change their online status. The chat function lets a user communicate with one or more users, in any location, through a single text window. They can also attach files to chat messages and send them in real time. The text of all chat sessions is stored in a log file, enabling the user to track all correspondence and collaboration.
Users can save, print or forward the log to another user.
The sender's machine shows the number of users to whom the message has been sent, the number who have read it, and the number who have responded to it. The NetLert white board enables users to collaborate through text, drawings and images on a virtual white board. Drawing tools include a line, circle and rectangle. Any participant can add to the white board, and multiple edit views can be saved, enabling the group to return to a previous view. The board can also be locked to prevent further editing.
