Introduction to the Conference Feature

This chapter describes the conference feature of the View facility. The conference feature allows any number of users logged on to the same instance to simultaneously view a single application session and take turns interacting with the application. One of the users, the controller, can interact with the application. Other users in the conference can view the interaction and send questions to the controller. The controller, while interacting with the application, can send narrative text to the conference participants.

This feature has many uses:

• Group discussions about an application
• Online review of application output
• Demonstrations of a new procedure
• Any situation in which users need to share information interactively online
