The message board functions like a community bulletin board for a site or zone. Like a traditional message board, you can post messages to anyone working at the site.
The message board provides information that is more event-driven or temporary. These typically include information about events or situations occurring at the site.
Note: Message Board notifications are delivered only in the app. The feature does not send mass notifications via SMS. You may, however, use a broadcast message to send an in-app notification to people currently logged in.
Click the Message Board icon.
The pop-up menu allows users to filter messages by viewing All Messages or only those they haven't acknowledged in New Messages.
Click on the New Messages option to view unacknowledged messages.
Note: New Messages will include any message the user has not archived. Each message has a color bar on the left-hand side. A red color bar indicates that the message has yet to be acknowledged.
The green bar marks messages that the employee has acknowledged. Click on a message to change its status.
Acknowledge a message with the Acknowledge option or select Acknowledge and archive to acknowledge and remove the message from the active list. This will make the message only accessible under All Messages.
Once you acknowledge the message, the color bar will change from red to green.
