Setting up user preferences

Sametime offers many features that allow you to create a collaborative chat environment that is easy-to-use and manage. Because instant messaging can be used in so many different ways, Sametime includes options for you to modify individual user settings so that Sametime works best for you.

Here are some scenarios:

Susan works with different Sametime communities, including her work community and remote communities. She can set her preferences for how those connections are displayed in the Sametime toolbar.
Chen is currently working on a project and only wants his status to display to certain individuals who are working on the project with him. Privacy settings allow him to choose who can see when he's online.
Because he has additional emoticons or smilies that he likes to include in his chats, Sean can add them via the Emoticons settings in his Sametime preferences.
Mariska travels frequently for her job. When she's in a different time zone or region, she'd like to be able to indicate that on her Sametime status. She can update her Geographic Location setting, so her contacts can see from her chat status that her location has changed.

You can customize Sametime to meet these requirements and more! To display the Preference menu, select File | Preferences (File | Preferences for Linux, Sametime | Preferences for Mac) from the menu options at the top of the Sametime Connect client. This will bring up the following Sametime Preferences dialog box. Many of these options don't require any changes, but you can make selections to customize Sametime to work the way you want at any time. The Preferences window is shown in the following screenshot:

The options are as follows:

Accessibility - contains settings to make Sametime easier to use with screen readers for visually impaired users.
Accounts - stores the login information for any Sametime add-on components that require that additional information.
Auto-Status Changes - controls the conditions under which Sametime will automatically change your status (Available, Away, In A Meeting, and Do Not Disturb) or log you off during periods of inactivity.
Chat History - controls how Sametime will save your chat transcripts for you.
Chat Window - controls how the Sametime chat window will appear, as well as font settings, time stamps, and how certain keystrokes are interpreted.
Contact List - controls how Sametime will notify you during certain contact list activities, as well as how your contact list will be maintained and stored on the Sametime server.
Emoticon Palettes - lists the active emoticons, or small graphic images to help convey emotions, in your Sametime client. You can also add or remove additional emoticon palettes here.
External Applications - stores the external mail application you use so that Sametime can communicate with it.
File Transfers - controls where files transferred during a Sametime chat will be stored.
Geographic Location - maintains geographical information about where you are as well as contact information about you. This information is displayed at the top of your Sametime profile and chats.
Language - controls the language that Sametime will use for the menus and screens.
Notification - controls the sounds that Sametime will make when certain events occur.
Privacy - controls who can see you when you're logged onto Sametime, as well as who can contact you if you're in Do Not Disturb mode.
Server Communities - contains all the technical information about how your Sametime client will connect to one or more Sametime servers.
Spell Checking - controls how spellchecking occurs in your Sametime client, and what dictionary language should be used for the spellchecking.
Status Messages - specifies the basic status messages that are displayed when you are in Available, Away, In A Meeting, and Do Not Disturb mode. It also controls if you are given the option to edit the status message each time your status changes.
Telephony, Audio and Video - controls the microphone, speaker, and video camera settings for your Sametime client if you have those available to use.
Web Conference Tools - indicates what tools (microphone, speaker, and camera) you have available for web conferences.

Don't be overwhelmed by all the choices you have for configuring Sametime. As you become more of a Sametime expert, you'll know exactly what options you want or need to change to customize and streamline Sametime into your very own personalized instant messaging client.
