The Thread Overview screen conveniently displays the initial âMessageâ that kickstarted a thread and also shows the âLatest Replyâ to that topic. Weâve described how you can add a reply from this overview screen.
However, when Live Chat is busy and the âNumber of Repliesâ begins to stretch into double figures, you might want to read through a more detailed history of the chat thread before replying. This could be to check that one of your colleagues has not already provided a sufficient answer for example or to check whether there may have been other questions asked by a prospective student buried in the middle of the thread (we have included a useful âUnapproved Replyâ stress bubble so that these cases are easy to identify).
In this case, click on the chat bubble for the thread itself to visit a complete history of that thread, including all questions asked and all response given up to this point.
From this view, either hover over a question to bring up the reply options or click âAdd Replyâ in order to provide your own response in the familiar WYSIWYG editor.
