Configuring the whiteboard collaboration layer

The whiteboard collaboration layer provides agents and visitors with a blank canvas. Conversation participants can draw diagrams as well as add text, shapes, and arrows. This is particularly useful if one of the participants has joined the conversation using a tablet.

Prerequisites

Before you start configuring the whiteboard in specific conversation templates, you must activate it. If you don’t, the settings for the whiteboard aren’t available in the settings of your conversation templates.

You can activate the whiteboard in the GLOBAL (i.e. server) or ACCOUNT scope with the configuration property com.unblu.conversation.feature.whiteboardEnabled.
