These pages documented very straightforward screens and flows that a user can easily figure out without the help of dedicated documentation. Besides, those screens are frequently reworked, thus requiring to maintain the related pages very closely. This commit removes such low values pages to reduce the technical debt and allow focusing on actually useful documentation pages.

Get Started with Discuss
|
||
========================
|
||
|
||
Discuss allows you to bring all of your company’s communication together through messages, notes,
|
||
and chat. Share information, projects, files, prioritize tasks, and stay connected with colleagues
|
||
and partners throughout applications. Forge better relationships, increase productivity and
|
||
transparency by promoting a convenient way of communicating.
|
||
|
||
Choose your notifications preference
|
||
====================================
|
||
|
||
Access your *Preferences* and choose how you would like your notifications to be handled.

|
||
|
||
| By default, the field is set as *Handle by Emails* making messages, notes, and notifications where
|
||
you were mentioned or that you follow, to be sent through email. By choosing *Handle in Odoo*,
|
||
they are shown in the *Inbox*.
|
||
| Messages can then be *Marked as Todo*, *Replied*, or *Marked as Read*.

Start Chatting
|
||
==============
|
||
|
||
The first time you log in to your account, OdooBot sends you a message asking for permission to
|
||
receive desktop notifications to chats. If accepted, you receive push notifications to the messages
|
||
sent to you despite of where you are in Odoo.

|
||
.. tip::
|
||
To stop receiving desktop notifications, reset the notifications settings of your browser.
|
||
|
||
To start a chat, click on *New Message* on the *Messaging Menu*, or go to *Discuss* and send a

Mentions in the chat and on the Chatter
|
||
---------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
| To mention a user within a chat or the chatter type *@user-name*; to refer to a channel, type
|
||
*#channel-name*.
|
||
| A notification is sent to the user mentioned either to his *Inbox* or through email, depending
|
||
on his settings.

|
||
|
||
.. tip::
|
||
When a user is mentioned, the search list (list of names) suggests values first based on the
|
||
task’s followers, and secondly on *Employees*. If the record being searched does not match with
|
||
either a follower or employee, the scope of the search becomes all partners.
|
||
|
||
Chat status
|
||
-----------
|
||
|
||
It is helpful to see what colleagues are up to and how quickly they can respond to messages by
|
||
checking their *Status*. The status is shown on the left side of a contact’s names on Discuss’
|
||
sidebar and on the *Messaging menu*.
|
||
|
||
- Green = online
|
||
- Orange = away
|
||
- White = offline
|
||
- Airplane = out of the office
