Hi Jonathan,
First make sure your SysAid Agents are upgraded.
If your Chat console is opened and you have an admin online - your end user will get a message and the chat window will open on his side.
You can initiate a chat from the console and from within a service request.
Regards,
Oded

I will be uploading the full Chat User manual later today - or maybe tomorrow.
It is still a draft which will be finalized in the next few days - but I will share the link with you all.

Not sure if this should be a separate topic -
If an End user requests a chat session, are there any popups on the Admin side?
If the answer is in the User Manual then no reply necessary - just the link

The end user can create a chat session with administrator only if one of the administrators is online.
To be online, you must have The chat administrator console open (from main menu press Chat) and check the online checkbox.
When a chat session from end user will start, you will see a new row on the left top table (table with current active chats).
In addition, you can check visual effects checkbox to have sound effect and automatic focus on every incoming call.

Would be nice to be able to select which one or both. I'd like it to take focus but not do an audio alert, but i still want to be able to listen to my zune

By "thick client", I think he means a separate chat program that can run independently, without the need to have a browser window for chat open all the time.

I have 3 problems with this currently.
First, some users are not available for the admin to initiate a chat session with. I know the agent is updated on the asset and the user is online. The user can initiate a chat with an admin but when the admin attempts to initiate a chat with the end user I get a message, User Not available. I know the user IS available because it is myself setup as a test user on a second workstation.
Secondly, when I, as an admin, initiate a chat with a user that is available, the end user does not receive a notification. Again, that end user can start a chat session but does not receive notification if I start it.
Third, if an end user closes their window without hitting the "Close" button, for example X's out of the window, the session stays open and will not close until the system ends the session. There is no way for the admin to end the session. Either allowing an admin to close a session would be helpful. Or perhaps changing the wording on the "Close" button, to "End Session" would be less confusing.
I have tested this with PC and Mac, Explorer, Safari and FireFox with the same results

Update, My bad with the user not available. The End user must be an asset owner I guess and have an agent installed on a asset that they own. I changed the asset owner to the test user and the chat did initaite. However, the end user still did not receive any notification that a session was started. There is also no session started in the Chat admin console

Inkaholic ,
1. SysAid check if users can be available for chat by locating the user name in the "Users" list in at least one asset. Please check that your user in listed in the "Users" field in your asset.
2. This can happens if the end user is logged on to asset with old version. Please make sure you upgrade the asset.
3. The window close is a bug that will fixed in beta 2 (5.6.03) that should be sent next week. This will also fix the problems with Safari and Chrome for end users. It will also improve the initiate chat with end user ability from within a service request. In beta 2 you will not have to open the chat window to initiate the chat and also the chat session will be automatically assigned to the administrator and will be assigned to the SR.

1. Yes, I discovered the need for the User to be listed on the asset shortly after posting this and tried to update the forum as soon as possible, so that is taken care of.
2. Regarding the end user not being notified, this is still happening. The agent was updated, but I re-deployed the agent just to be safe. the end user still receives no notification that an admin has started a chat.
3. cool, thanks.

The majority of my users do not have assets assigned to them, it makes no sense to me that I would have to assign an asset to them so I can chat with them.
