Viewing Saved Meeting Information

After a meeting is over, you can find any saved whiteboard files on the Meeting Details page. If you saved a chat transcript from the meeting, you can find it in a directory on your computer.

Note You can also use the Meeting Details page to review other information about the finished meeting. For example, you can view a recorded meeting or listen to a recorded telephone call.

Viewing Saved Chat Transcripts

If you saved a chat transcript from the meeting, you can read it by locating the file on your computer and double-clicking it or by opening any word-processing program and then opening the chat transcript file. The default location for the file is the C:\Program Files\Lotus\Sametime Client\Chat Transcripts directory for instant chat meetings and the C:\Windows\Java\Sametime directory for meetings that occur in the Meeting Room.

Viewing Whiteboard Files

When you create a meeting, you can attach a file for display on the whiteboard. During the meeting, participants can annotate, or change, the file. The Moderator can then save the changed file. The file is saved in two formats (RTF for quick viewing; SWB for whiteboard display). The Moderator can also save a presentation that was created on the blank whiteboard.

You can view whiteboard files in all three formats (the original format, RTF, and SWB) on the Meeting Details page in the Meeting Center.

To view whiteboard files:

  1. Click the meeting name in the Meeting Center. If your Meeting Center includes a Details column above the list of meetings, you can also click the meeting details icon.
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the Meeting Details page until you see the Attachments heading. The three types of whiteboard files are:

    Whiteboard Attachments: Files that the meeting creator attached to the meeting. These files are in their original format or, if the files were attached using Print Capture, in FST format. For example, if you attach a Lotus Word Pro file named Proposal.lwp when creating the meeting, the file appears on the Meeting Details page as Proposal.lwp.

    RTF Files: Files that you can view in an appropriate program, such as a word processor. If the Moderator makes changes to Proposal.lwp on the whiteboard during a meeting and then saves the file, the file appears as Proposal_Annotated.rtf on the Meeting Details page. If the Moderator saves a presentation that was created on the blank whiteboard, the filename is Whiteboard.rtf.

    SWB Files: Files that you can save to your computer and then attach to another meeting. If the Moderator makes changes to Proposal.lwp on the whiteboard during a meeting and then saves the file, the file appears as Proposal_Sametime.swb on the Meeting Details page. If the Moderator saves a presentation that was created on the blank whiteboard, the filename is Whiteboard_Sametime.swb.

  3. Do one of the following:
    • To view the file in a word-processing program, double-click the file with the RTF extension. An appropriate program (such as Microsoft Word) launches and displays the file.
    • To save a file on your computer, right-click on the file and choose Copy from the shortcut menu. Open the file management system on your computer (such as Windows Explorer), right-click, and choose Paste to paste the file into a directory on your computer. You can save either version of the file (the RTF version or the SWB version).

Tip You might want to save the SWB version of the file if you plan to attach the file to a meeting and display it on the whiteboard. You can save the SWB version of the file to your computer by double-clicking the file and choosing "Save this file to disk."
