Communicating with the owning user

If you work in a collaborative environment where several users own assemblies or components in a design, you may want to communicate with the user who owns a particular assembly or component. If the Microsoft Office Communicator integration is installed on your system, you can right-click the line that represents the assembly or component, and then choose Send an Instant Message to Owning User. Teamcenter displays a Communicator window, allowing you to begin an instant message conversation with the owner.
