Messages

The Messages action option opens a screen to view new or existing messages, or to create a new message using the wizard. Messages that have been read can be marked as Read and saved, or they can be deleted.

• Messages are displayed in a list format. The list can be sorted by any of the columns by clicking on the column label name. An arrow appears to the left of the column to indicate whether the list is being sorted in ascending or descending order. Click on the heading label again to change the sort direction.

• Click the card arrow on a record to open the record and view the details. If there is more than one page of messages, the message must be closed (by clicking on the card arrow) before scrolling to another page of messages.

• For information on creating and sending a new message, see Adding a New Message.

  Messages can also be viewed on the employees' Home page under the Messages notifications heading by selecting the View Messages button. The wizard can be accessed by clicking on the Add Message button from this section as well.
