You can now send messages to your team via the message option within Polaris Data.
The employees selected to receive a message will be informed of this when a notification pops up on the app and can view within the Notifications section of the Employee App (they can also view this via the web portal).
To send a message, first click your email address in the top right had corner of the page and select "Messages".
This will then take you into the messages screen where you can choose to compose a new message or a mass message.
Compose New Message:
This works similarly to an email in that you select an employee's email and you can cc in others if required - the only difference is that this is sent directly to the employee's app/web portal.
This works best for messages that are intended for only a few people at any given time.
Once you are happy with the contents of the message, simply click "Send" - alternatively, you can save the draft and send at a later date.
Mass Message:
If you need to send a message to a larger group of people, the mass message function will work best.
You will be able to filter who you would like to receive the message by selecting the employees with the arrows in the screen below - those moved to the "Selected Users" screen will receive the message.
Once you are happy with the recipients, you will be able to add in a subject, compose the message and send.
Sent:
You will also be able to keep a record of all messages you have sent by visiting the "Sent" tab.
