The messages sent in any variant of XTRF Chat (Home Portal-embedded, standalone web, and mobile app) are instantly viewable in all of them.

• The messages sent in the All Project Members chat room are visible to every member, and every member can respond. There is no way to limit or block any member from messaging within this chat room other than excluding them from the whole project in XTRF.

• Messages sent in the individual chat rooms are only visible to the single vendor and managers who joined this chat room.

• Vendors can only view the messages in their own individual chat rooms.

It is possible to send files up to 1GB through chat rooms. Files are never removed from the chat room, even after the chat room is archived or the related project is closed.

To send a file in XTRF Chat, click the icon in the chat room's bottom left-hand corner or drag and drop the file directly to the chat room window.

The XTRF Chat supports common keyboard shortcuts and markdowns for formatting text.

You can add emojis to your messages in any of these three ways:
