Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`

Click System Administration > Ongoing Maintenance > Collaboration > Configuration to open the Collaboration Settings form.

Select the Enable Collaboration check box to enable Service Manager Collaboration.

(Optional) Select the Enable ESS Lync User check box so that the Skype users can join IT Collaboration conversations by using Skype.

Select whether to enable the End User Chat virtual agent or not.
