ICE INSTANT MESSAGING

ICE’s enhanced instant messaging (IM) application offers the tools to keep you connected to the

people and information that move markets. Featuring an easy-to-use, fully customizable interface,

you can tailor your workspace solutions to increase workflow efficiency and react seamlessly to

trading opportunities in real-time.

REGISTRATION

There are three ways to launch the new IM service: standalone from www.theice.com, from the

WebICE application bar, or in Chrome on your pc or Mac by going to https://iceim.theice.com.

Either method will launch the registration process.

Click on the “Let’s get started!” button to begin the account setup process.

If you’ve logged in from WebICE the next screen will allow you to link an existing IM account or

have one created for you. If you choose to have one created, an IM account will be auto-

provisioned on your behalf and linked to your ICE account.

During the registration you can also link your existing WebICE accounts, as well as your existing

AIM and/or Yahoo accounts. Once this is completed, you will be presented with a screen to add

contacts to your account.

INTERCONTINENTAL EXCHANGE ICE Instant Messaging | December 2018 6/69

NOTE: if you decide not to do this now you can always link your accounts at a later point in time

DEFAULT LAYOUT

Once registration is completed, the default layout will be displayed. This layout consists of one

main screen containing the Contact List in the left region, a message console in the middle

region, and a recent activity in the right region.

WIDGETS, REGIONS, WINDOWS, WORKSPACES

1. Widget: A widget is an application. The first widgets available are message tabs, recent

activity, contact list, message blaster, groups manager and the directory search.

2. Region: A Region is a section within a console window which contains widgets.

INTERCONTINENTAL EXCHANGE ICE Instant Messaging | December 2018 7/69

3. Console Window: A console window can be split into one or more regions, allowing for

layout customization.

4. Workspace: A workspace is an arrangement of console windows that can be distributed

across one or more screens. Users can design and switch between multiple workspaces.

DRAG & DROP / REGION SPLITTING

You can open new regions using advanced drag and drop functionality. Drag and drop a group or

a contact from the contact list to create a new region and start communicating instantly. Drag a

tab from one region to create a new one. As you drag new regions within your workspace, the

application will automatically highlight the recommended drop positions and sizes.

There is also the ability to configure your workspace

layout prior to opening widgets with the use of region

menu options to Create New Region.

On Top / On Bottom: On Top will open a new region to

the top, On Bottom will open a new region to the

bottom.

To Left / To Right: To Left will open a new region to

the left, To Right will open a new region to the right.

TIP: When your workspace is just the way you want it, lock it to prevent any unwanted changes.

Easily access other message widgets by

clicking on the “+” sign next to the last tab in

any region;

• Blaster: Send a message to multiple

contacts at once

• Chat Room List: all of your chat rooms

in one widget.

• Contact List: All of your contacts in one

easy to access list

• Desk Activity: Comprehensive view of

all desk messages.

• Directory Search: Search the ICE

directory for contacts and/or desks

across multiple markets

manage your contact groups

of all inbound messages

INTERCONTINENTAL EXCHANGE ICE Instant Messaging | December 2018 12/69

System Alerts tab. Your pending connection requests will be listed in your contact list under the

group Connection Requests. You may also click “View” to view this contact’s profile before

accepting the request.

Please note that contacts in your own company are automatically accepted as contacts. Simply

add an internal contact and chat with them immediately.

Right-click on a contact or click the ellipsis button within that group to accept, ignore, or block the

requestor.

Accept: you agree to become a contact with the requestor who can now contact you via IM.

When a new contact is accepted their tab will be automatically opened.

connection again.

Block: you are blocking the requestor from being able to contact you again. NOTE: you do have

the ability to unblock the user at any time

PRIMARY GROUP

When you add or accept a new contact, you can specify a Primary Group. When you receive a

message from a contact whose tab isn’t open, their tab will be opened within their primary group

except if your user preference is set to open in Principal Region.

SET PRIMARY GROUP FOR ENTIRE GROUP

Right-click on a group from your Contact List or in the Groups Manager to set the primary group

for all contacts within the group.

To view the handles of a contact, go to Edit Contact. The handles are displayed at the bottom of

the window.

INTERCONTINENTAL EXCHANGE ICE Instant Messaging | December 2018 14/69

MY CONTACTS WIDGET (INCLUDING BLOCK USERS)

The My Contacts widget displays all pending requests related to your contacts. Here you can

view the connections requests sent, the connection requests received, those contacts who have

removed you from their contact list, as well as those users you have blocked.

For each Sent Connection Request there is

the option to Cancel Request or Block the

user.

there is the option to Accept, Ignore, or

Block the user.

For each Blocked User in the widget there

is the option to UnBlock.

For each Removed Contact in the widget

there is the option to Delete Contact or

SKYPE PERSONAL SUPPORT

ICE IM supports sending and receiving IMs over the Skype personal network. Once enabled, all

users are provided their own Skype account - ICEIM[email protected]heice.com - which can be

used to communicate to users on Skype.

You can view your assigned handle under

your profile.

Clicking on Upload Contacts will allow you to

import your Skype contacts from your

account.

INTERCONTINENTAL EXCHANGE ICE Instant Messaging | December 2018 15/69

• Please be sure to export your

contacts from Skype into a .vcf file

(default)

• NOTE: contacts who have a

Microsoft live account cannot be

exported. This is a limitation of Skype

and not ICE IM. These contacts will

need to be re-added manually.

When adding a Skype contact only include the username. For example, if you’re looking to add

scottbesner@outlook.com only enter scottbesner in the username field. Then select the

appropriate domain.

There will be instances wherein the user will accept your connection request in Skype and you

will receive an inbound connection request from the Skype server. The request will be in the

format cid-(string of numbers)@domain.com (user's account name). You should accept this

contact request and use this to communicate with the Skype contact. You can remove the

original contact added.

*** NOTE: For domains which are not listed, there is a different format supported by Skype which

is username(domain)@msn.com. For example, if you’re looking to add scottbesner@yahoo.com

enter scottbesner(yahoo.com) and then select the domain msn.com from the dropdown. ***

When a connection request is received from a Skype contact it will follow the current workflow.

You will see a request in Incoming Contact Requests group in your Contact List as well as a

System Alert indicating a contact request. Simply right-click on the contact request and accept

the contact.

INTERCONTINENTAL EXCHANGE ICE Instant Messaging | December 2018 16/69

Skype contacts can be added on behalf

of yourself and/or your desk:

Once a connection request is made you can chat with your Skype contacts as you would any of

your other contacts.

EMAIL AS A MEANS TO CHAT

You can now be provisioned with an ICE IM email address which enables you to send and

receive email messages from your ICE IM client keeping all of your message workflow in one

application. All messages in and out of the system run through the ICE IM system, ensuring that

our proprietary parsing is applied as well all of your compliance rules. Your email address will be

ICEIMhand[email protected].

INTERCONTINENTAL EXCHANGE ICE Instant Messaging | December 2018 17/69

When a message arrives from an email address you are not already a contact with, you will have

the ability to Accept, Block, or Ignore. The actual message will not be delivered unless you

Accept.

First Message From Non-Contact Email

Address

Message Delivered After Accepting

Once you’re connected to an email address, messages can be sent and received using ICE IM.

When sending a message from ICE IM to an email address the user will see the first line of the

message as the subject so they can see what the message is about without even opening it.

DESK CHAT

Desk chat allows a group / desk of users to chat internally as well as view all external chats

between the contacts of the desk. The external recipient only communicates with one shared ID.

Unlike a chat room, where each user must “join” a specific chat room and remain there to chat,

desk chat propagates the message to each user attached to the desk ID.

contact they can select to add a

When a contact is added as a Desk contact by one member of a desk, the contact is added to all

members of the desk as a desk contact. All members of the desk will receive a notification of the

DESK ACTIVITY WIDGET

The desk activity widget will display all of your desk messages in one tab. This tab includes all

inbound and outbound messages for your desk.

your internal desk chat. This allows a desk to get a full picture of the markets they’re working with

their customers while interacting with their own, internal desk.

INTERCONTINENTAL EXCHANGE ICE Instant Messaging | December 2018 31/69

Although all external messages are displayed here, they are not seen by other external contacts.

instances of the widget with different filters set.

desk contacts.
