Synapse Chat Features

Introduction

Synapse Chat provides the ability for Synapse users to communicate with one another within the Synapse application. You can initiate a chat with another active user or users, or even start a conversation with someone who is offline, but can receive the chat once they log on. See Synapse Chat Overview.

Synapse saves your chat window size and position. If you log out and then back into the same workstation, any settings that you changed will persist. However, if you log into another workstation, the default view displays.
