Working in status bar

Caution

OpenKM 7.1 comes with two user interfaces, called “classic” and “kcenter”. Although both are functionally very similar, the layout and the way they are used may have significant differences. This page is based on the “classic” user interface. If you are using the “kcenter” user interface and have any doubts about accessing any of these features, please create a ticket in the support website.

The Status panel at the bottom provides general information.  The status panel is organized into:

• OpenKM news alert.
• The connected user.
• User repository size.
• Chat.
• Alerts.
• HTML documents being edited.
• Message panel.

OpenKM news alert

When there is OpenKM news, a blinking   alert icon is shown on the left side.

Note

The connected user

The username is shown on the left side.

User repository size

The user repository size shows the user’s total repository size (documents and emails owned by the user).

Chat

You can  connect and  disconnect the user from the internal application chat.

Note

By default, the Chat feature is disabled. More information about the Chat feature is available at Administration > Profiles.
