Jabber for Windows - Chat Window Screen Pop

joshua.gertig — Sun, 17 Mar 2019 21:20:32 GMT

I don't seem to see any way to configure the Jabber client so that the chat window pops up in front on a new chat (or any chat for that matter). I see where I can set it to play sounds when chats are received, but not actually pop up.

We had problems with CUPC as well, where it would pop up, but behind any open windows (kind of useless). This has been one of our biggest complaints from users.

Is there a way to do this and if not, is it on the roadmap?

Thanks,

Josh

Hey Josh,

Currently there is no such option which we can configure to have the IM pop up.

Since this is something which the end users really want, I'll research to see if there is an enhancement request already and if need be we can request for one.

Regards,

Jas

Hey Bud,

I have an update from our Dev team. The IM Alert feature will be available in future release, currently no ETA, however, it'll look somewhat similar to the screenshot below:

I am sure, this'll definately provide the functionality which the end users are looking forward to !!

Best Regards,

Jas

Jas, this would be perfect, particularly the checkbox at the bottom "Bring new chat windows to the front". Very cool, thanks.

Hi all,

I've just been asked for the same feature by a new potential customer that we have deployed a proof of concept, is there any idea of a time-line when the feature will be included into the client?

Regards,

Mike.

Just downloaded and installed Jabber 9.0.(4) for windows, still no option to bring chats to the front of the screen. Because of this and the inability to add non AD contacts, we are continuing to delay the release of Jabber for Windows out to our users. Patiently waiting

Any update on an ETA for the "Bring new chat windows to top" feature? I'm not seeing it in the 9.1 EAP, so I'm guessing we've still got to wait a while before we might see this?

We're disappointed to hear that it's not in 9.1, per Scott's comment below. Is Cisco still planning on rolling this feature out? Also hoping ad-hoc (non AD) will make it soon.

I have users that are looking for this feature to. When this feature is released my Director of IT will feel better about pushing jabber out to the company.

We also need this feature. In our test environment, multiple times people have missed chat messages because the notification is too subtle. The sooner we can get this, the better.

My users want the option to bring the chat window to the front for any new chats not just a new chat with someone you are not chatting with unless I am not understanding the feature here.

user:

Although even that isn't what I want.. that's only new chat windows. I want it to the front on new chat messages to existing windows

An option setting for bringing all new chat windows to the front of all other windows is on the backlog but has not yet been committed for any release.

Just installed 9.1 and I cant really see any feature updates, and this above features still not mentioned. Any updates on this? Also, is there a way to get our hands on a BETA release or are these strictly not given out? This is becoming a feature that is causing a lot of issues with missed chats, especially since the imAlert.wav cannot be replaced.

Hi there,

I just ran across this thread as we're considering moving to Jabber (from Lync) but we need special alert options.

For Lync, we use an add-on called Super Toast http://www.modalitysystems.com/software/super-toast and it gives our users a pop-up alert for IM's in the middle of their screen that doesn't go away until they do something with it.

We even worked with Modality to customize it and make it bigger and custom for our company.

I need something like that for Jabber. Does anyone know of a product like that?

Thanks,

Christie

My Company also needs this option. We are looking at deploying Jabber Enterprise wide but a couple of areas require immediate notification of incoming IM's

Can we get an update on how far out this is? it would help tremendously in our rollout testing and planning

We're on 9.2.0 Build 496 and no hint of this feature in that version, either. Any word on when this is going to roll out? I have users (including me) that miss IMs for some time because they don't pop up, they only glow down on the taskbar. Help!
