Features of Message Center

Our message boards offer the following features:

Group and individual messaging

Our flexible message boards allow users to send a message to individual(s), group(s), classroom(s) or any combination of recipients.

Message attachments

Users can attach documents to a message. When the recipients open the attached document, they are downloading the document from the document center. Therefore, it is always the most current version of the document rather than a duplicated copy at the time of attachment.

Forum and email style viewing

Depending on a user's preference, the message board inbox comes with an option for a forum style viewing or an email style viewing. Simply click on a forum style or email style button above the inbox to change the setting.

Message deletion

Unlike ordinary message boards, members can delete a message from their inbox as they would using their emails. This capability allows members to keep the inbox clean which helps it to load faster.

Email notifications

Members can choose to receive email notifications of messages in which case a copy of all messages posted on the message board is send to them via email.

Automatic organization of messages into groups

All messages from all groups, classrooms, and individuals are accessible through the inbox. However, you can easily view a message for a certain group by selecting it from the left side menu of inbox.

Message folders to organize messages

Messages can be organized into folders
