Easy Collaboration with Synology’s DSM 6.2 Features

Chat Application

We’ve already talked a little bit about the chat function as it is built into the other collaboration tools. But there’s a standalone version too where you get more options.

My Space

It starts with My Space where things are summarised, but you won’t stay long on this page. After all, you want to chat, right?

Create Private and Public Channels

So to chat, we need a chat room. The rooms can be private where only invited people have access or they can be public. It’s also possible to invite people from the user list during the creation.

The Chat Rooms

Once the chatroom is created and you’ve invited the people you want in there, you can start chatting.

You get all the things you’d expect from a chat program these days, including a whole lot of emojis.

You can react to posts and tag them with hashtags. There is even the option to go back and comment on a specific message to lessen the confusion. The latter is very useful when multiple subjects are discussed at the same time.

You’ll be notified on new messages if the window isn’t the active one, but you can snooze that. You can snooze by schedule or a given time frame.

You get a convenient access to other office functions too, as with all the other apps. They’re interconnected and accessible from each other.
