Messaging allows a conversation with your team, with every Location, Department, and Role having their very own messaging group. Every Employee who is assigned to the group has the ability to post comments, reply, and upload attachments.
Chats by Location, Department, and Role
Chats by Location, Department, and Role
To start a back and forth conversation with a Location, Department, or Role group, tap the 'New Group Post' tab and tap on the group you'd like to message. You'll notice you've been assigned to certain groups based on the Locations, Departments, and Roles you've been assigned to.
Chats by individual or custom groups
To send a message to a specific person, tap the '+' icon in the bottom right corner and select 'New Chat'.
You can create a custom group chat by adding more than one person. Select one or more people to add to the chat, then tap 'NEXT'.
You can also customize the group chat name at the top of the page.
From within a chat, click the 'gear' icon to open the chat settings.
This will allow you to:
- Re-name the group chat
- Mute the notifications
- Add people to the chat
- Archive the chat - archiving a chat will remove it from your Recents list. It will come back when someone in the chat sends a new message.
Roster Talk Chats
Message multiple groups in the same message by selecting another target roster (ie: Location, Department, or Role schedule in a specific timeframe):
