Chat
Enterprise Architect's internal Model Mail system can be accessed within WebEA, allowing you to view and send instant chat messages to other model users and groups from your web browser.
When enabled, the Chat view can be accessed by selecting the main 'Collaborate' tab, then the 'Chat' tab within the collaborate view.
Note, to use Model Chat the model must have User Security enabled, and the WebEA configuration should have the 'Show Model Chat' option set to 'Yes'. This is set to 'No' by default. See the How to configure WebEA models topic for details.
