Group Chats

Summary A group chat is one conversation with several people. You create it on the Chat Wall: click + Groups, give the group chat a name, click the tick, then add the members by searching for them or choosing them from your recent assignees. A message you send in the group chat goes to all the other group members. To find a group chat later, open the Groups folder, or search for the chat's title.
