InDesign and InCopy users can send each other messages by sending a message to object items such as articles and layouts. Received messages are displayed on screen in a dialog box.
Example: An InDesign user can select a placed article on the layout and send a message to the InCopy user who is currently working on that article.
Note: By enabling the user messages feature, the Smart Connection > Send Message command is enabled in InDesign and InCopy.
Add the following 2 options to the configserver.php file:
1. Messaging
- File: configserver.php file
- Name of option: Messaging
- Location: SERVERFEATURES list
- Example:
new Feature( 'Messaging' ),
2. Event port
- File: configserver.php file
- Name of option: EventPort
- Location: SERVERFEATURES list
- Example:
new Feature( 'EventPort', 8093 )
Note: You are free to change the Event Port number. If you are using more than one Enterprise system on a single network, the port must differ or else clients will send and receive messages through databases that the user is not making use of.
