Manage Messages

The Manage Messages tool, located in the Administration module, allows the admin to create and send messages to users.

Note: Currently, the only location for a user to view messages is with the My Messages widget. The user must have the widget on their dashboard and check it periodically for new messages.

Add New Message

To add a new message, click the Add New button in the Messages section:

When the message is finished, click the Save button at the bottom of the popup. The message will then appear in the table in the Messages section.

Clicking the Select link will open that message in the Message Details section. Clicking the Remove link will delete that message.

Message Assignment

Once a message is created and is currently selected, it can be sent to the intended recipients.

Use the Message Assigned To dropdown to select who will receive the message:

  • User: If selected, a new dropdown will appear allowing the admin to select a specific user.
  • Role: If selected, a new dropdown will appear allowing the admin to select a specific role. All users under that role will receive the message.
  • Everyone: If selected, all users in the system will receive the message.

Use the Dates to Show Message control to determine which dates the message will appear in the My Messages widget for the selected user(s). Once a date is selected, click the button to add it to the list of dates that the message will be sent. This can be very helpful in setting up a message that needs to be sent on a regular basis.

To assign the message, click the Save button in the bottom right corner of the Message Assignment section.
