You can use the chat feature to collaborate with other Planning Analytics Workspace Classic users. Chat conversations are associated
with and accessed from an individual book.
Note: Chat is not available in the new experience Planning Analytics Workspace.
Any user with at least View only permission to a book can participate in
chat. If you are an administrator, you can set
permissions for a book.
When you log on to Planning Analytics Workspace Classic, the chat
icon 
on a book tile indicates whether there are any new messages or replies posted to the
book.

www.ibm.com into a chat, and the text becomes a link, colored blue. When you hover over the link, it
becomes underlined. You can then click the link to go to the web page. Links beginning with www,
http, or https are recognized as clickable links.
Messages appear in reverse chronological order, with the most recent message at the top of the
chat panel. When you post a message, your account avatar appears next to the message. If you have
not set an account avatar, your
first name and last name initials appear.

the message already contains other responses), then enter your own message and click
