Communications

Streamlined Messaging at Your Fingertips

To effectively utilize the Communications feature, it's important to understand its inner dropdown features: "Received," "Sent," and "Draft Messages." as these categories organize your messaging activities efficiently.

Categorically, 'Received' will showcase messages received from other units, 'Sent' will display those sent by you, and 'Drafts' will hold messages saved for future use. Additionally, you can schedule messages for a specific date and time by clicking the 'Schedule' button next to the 'Send' button on the compose page.

Before you can send messages, it's essential to set up a distribution list. Distribution lists serve as a way to define the recipient group for your communication, ensuring it reaches the right audience.

To create a distribution list, navigate to the "Settings" section on the sidebar, click on distribution settings inside the page, and within the Distribution Settings, you can specify the name or title of your communication, and define the group of recipients you want to send the message to by selecting them.

Once this setup is complete, return to the Communications page. Inside the communications page, click on the "Compose" dropdown at the top-right corner of the page. This dropdown presents various message types, such as internal messages, external memos, mails, etc. Choose the message type that best suits your needs, compose your message, and click on send. Also, you can schedule messages for a specific date and time by clicking the 'Schedule' button next to the 'Send' button on the compose page.

In addition to the aforementioned steps, the Communications feature offers an array of versatile options to enhance your messages. You can effortlessly attach files, share links, incorporate emojis to add a personal touch, and even upload essential documents. These features allow you to make your communications more dynamic and engaging, ensuring your messages effectively convey your intended information and tone.
