In this way the conversation will be interrelated with the subject in which you are currently located. For users who receive the conversation, the subject can be clicked to access it (assuming the user has the required access credentials in accordance with his/her profile). The conversation will also be listed at the bottom of the record.

Like any self-respecting chat the talks module has a set of emoj available for a greater comunication experience.
