As a Dashboard Admin user, you may add and modify messages to appear on your company’s dashboards for location users.



Adding a Message of the Day

You may add messages to appear in the header section of any or all of your company’s dashboards for any set period of time.

  1. On the Edit Message of the Day page, select the desired dashboard from the Choose Dashboard drop-down list. The messages that were added earlier to the selected dashboard will also be displayed.
  2. Click Add Message of the Day (Show Form). The Edit Day Message pop-up window appears.
  3. Enter the desired Start Date and Expire Date.
  4. Enter the desired message. (Optionally, use the format bar at the top of the message area to format your text or add links to the message.)

  6. Click Create. The new message appears in the message list, and will display to users of the selected dashboard(s) on the specified date/time.
