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.
Unread message notification
Most recently received but unread messages can be found under the at a glance submenu of the organizer menu. All unread messages are organized under the unread submenu of the message menu.
High priority messaging and notifications
Users can place a high priority notice on a message. When a recipient receives a high priority message, it'll be highlighted in red color with a high priority (
) icon next to the message title.
Message deletion
Unlike ordinary message boards, users can delete a message from their inbox as they would using their emails. This capability allows users to keep the inbox clean which helps it to load faster.
Email notifications
Users 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, users 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.
Message expiration
Users can set an expiration date to messages they send out. All expired messages are organized under the expired submenu.
