The host can pass control of a tool to another participant if a request is made. The host can also reassert control at any time during the collaboration.
Data Conference: Data Conferences are conducted through the Comotiv Collaboration Data Console. The Data Console lets project members in different locations collaborate by sharing a document, a program, or even a desktop. Through the Data Console, project members can engage in text chat with each other, share a common whiteboard in real-time, and transfer files between data conference participants.
File Conference: A conference that is specifically for multipoint file viewing. The initiator of a file conference can manipulate a shared file using the Comotiv Collaboration File Viewer. A file conference is set up using the Edit Files option in a project. A file conference allows members of the same project to view and manipulate a file.
File Viewer: A collaborative Java-based application for multipoint viewing of files (file conference) with markup capability. Control of the markup layer can be requested by any conference participant, or reassumed at any time by the host (initiator) of the file conference. The viewer's best used with a web conference, where video, audio, and file viewing all happen in real time. The viewer also has a View Only option that allows you to view a file without starting or joining a file conference. Files located in Comotiv Collaboration can also be downloaded to your local machine.
Markup Layer: A virtual layer that accepts the placing of graphics and text that is superimposed on a file being viewed from multiple locations.
