No problem Jeff, thanks for getting back to me with that excellent feedback. We do have a feature request (CS-7293) for adding the User Picker to Private Messaging, and I completely agree that this would add a lot of value to the feature. Hopefully we will see this added to a future release.

Regards,

Karl

Hi Karl,

Thanks for all your help. I think I just didn't express myself very well...

As far as your other request (adding multiple users to the address book), could you give me a little more information on what you're looking for? I don't think I have ever seen this kind of feature anywhere, so I'd like to know a little more about what you're requesting .

My understanding is that the point of the address book in the private messaging tool is to collect together the people you are most likely to send a message to in one place. So I first wanted to have the folks in my department to my address book. However, I have to add each person's username one at a time. And although we try to be uniform in how we assign usernames, sometimes you just aren't sure what the username is and have to look it up in a separate people search.

I was thinking that it would be much more streamlined if I could use the "user picker" tool, filter by my department, select my colleagues en masse and add them to my address book all at once.

Please let me know if this isn't making sense.

Best regards

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

I agree with your second comment about adding a user to your address book, and I've gone ahead and created a JIRA feature request for it.

Private Messages Address Book in CS 2.5 -- How add multiple users?

Hi, we're testing Clearspace 2.5

Is there any way to add multiple users at the same time to the Address Book of Private Messages? Ideally, you would be able to use the User Picker to find multiple users and add them all at once. I can't seem to type multiple usernames either (unlike how usernames can be separated with commas in document collaboration options).

Actually, it would be great if you could add any user to either your Address Book, Connections, or both from a central place, such as the search results page or profile...

Thanks again!

Jeff
