Team Chat is for messages between staff. Patients never see it.

Steps

  1. Open Team in the menu and select the Chat tab. A red number on the tab shows unread conversations.
  2. Under Conversations, choose a space from Spaces or a person from Direct messages.
  3. To start a new direct message, use New DM and choose Message a teammate….
  4. Type in the message box. Type @ and a name to mention someone, or @all in a space to mention everyone in it.
  5. Use the tools under the box to attach a file, record, or add an emoji.
  6. Press Enter or select Send message. Use Shift+Enter for a new line.

Good to know

  • People with chat management access see New space to create a space. Anyone can open Space details; only chat managers who belong to a space can change it.
  • You can set notifications for one space under Space details → Notifications.
  • A number next to a conversation counts unread messages; @ and a number counts mentions of you.
  • Choose which chat notifications reach you in My profile.
  • The clinic owner chooses which updates post to which spaces in Settings → Team → Notifications, under Team Chat spaces. These posts come from Oben. Open goes to the record only if you are allowed to see it.
