Chat

The Chat support allows immediate and extended support on live basis. If any user needs an urgent solution to a problem, the chat support becomes a benefit. For example, if a requester needs help or guidance for some queries, one can use chat for instant help. This feature is disabled by default and user needs to enable it.

Note: In the SaaS application the Chat feature is available only if the Chat license is enabled.

To view the Chat page, navigate to Admin > Support Channel > Chat.
