Message Types

Messages are one of the main features in enaio® coLab. All messages in a project room are listed on the project’s Overview page. We differentiate between the following types of messages in enaio® coLab:

• Messages created by project members

  Project members can create messages in enaio® coLab on the project’s overview page and in the files view (see Creating Messages).

  Messages created on the project’s overview page are true text messages. Messages created in the files view contain a link to the file from which the message was created. These messages are indicated by a File attachment icon in the message list on the overview page. Clicking the File attachment icon will open the content preview (see Content Preview).

• System messages

  There are also messages in enaio® coLab that are generated automatically, in addition to the messages created by the project members:

  • Welcome messages

    Welcome messages are created automatically by enaio® coLab when a user accepts an invitation and joins a project room. Welcome messages are shown in the message list on the project’s overview page.

  • Shared file notifications

    Shared file notifications are automatically generated by enaio® coLab when a user shares a file in the files view. Shared file notifications are shown in the message list on the project’s overview page. These are marked with a File attachment icon. Clicking the File attachment icon will open the content preview (see Content Preview).
