The chat feature makes it easy to have an online conversation with colleagues.

Maintainers of the Portal can be contacted to report a problem, make a suggestion, or to ask the portal manager to request setting up a group. If you would like to make a group request then please select "Group request" as the "Category" in your email. To contact portal administration perform the steps below: Step 1: Select the "Contact Support" link under the "Home" tab in the global menu at the top of the CPS-VO home page.

Each group has a forum where active discussions can be started, commented on and viewed. A privilege of group membership is that forum discussions can be initiated. Group administrators may make discussions inactive. 

The Notification service allows you to subscribe to notifications of updates to items (such as Events, Files, etc.). For example, you will receive an email each time the author updates a document to which you have subscribed or when details about an event change. Below are the steps demonstrating how manage subscriptions.

Events and Files can be posted on the CPS-VO. These refer to events in the calendar and files uploaded to the repository. Events and Files can be commented on. Below is an example of how comments can be added to these items.
