Participant Information Window

The participant name is set by the command-line parameter (-N) on invocation. It defaults to the user name and local host. The window is in three parts:

Activity

This displays the most recently active participants

Participants

This window shows all participants and allows a degree of interaction with the user. The currently active participant is shown highlighted.

Hide/Reveal contribution

To hide the contribution of a particular individual, click with left mouse button on the checkbox to the left of the participant's name. It will appear checked and all contributions from that participant will be removed from the whiteboard. Click again on the checkbox to restore the contribution.

Currency indication

If the # sign appears between the checkbox and the participant's name,the site does not have all the data for the current page.

Participant Info

To view the information for a participant, click the left mousebutton on the name in the Participants section.

Network

The details Dest Port ID and TTL are for information only. The three entry boxes and the two buttons are used as follows:

Name

This defaults to name@site, but may be entered as required.

Key

Title

This defaults to host address/port, but may be entered as required. The title applies to the main wb window as well as this one.

Point to type

Check this box to allow you to type at the current mouse pointer position. If this is not checked, you must click the left mouse button to make a dot on the board from which to type. Click again to revert to default mode.

Mute New Sites

With this box checked, new sites will not appear on the board. This is equivalent to muting each individual new site by clicking on its checkbox in the Participants section of the window. This has the same effect as using the -S flag at startup.
