    • If you right-click on a department, you can select Message Department to send a message to the entire department.
    • If you right-click on a user, and the user is not a favorite, select Make Favorite to make this user a favorite. If the user is a favorite, select Remove Favorite to remove the user from your favorites list.
  3. Tap the name of a group. A list of the group members appears.
  4. Use the checkboxes at the right to select the members of the group with which you want to chat.
