Message Board#

The Message Board screen displays notices sent out by the company to you and other staff members.

Messages can be posted to different levels of users by using the MEMO functionality. These messages can appear in both Professional and Self Service applications.

The desired messages will be displayed on the IEMMO located on the various splash screens.

Required Set Up#

Step 1

Make sure the note type “MEMO” is defined on IMNT

Step 2

Make sure the IEMMO is established as a menu item – Depending on where the message board is going to be viewed will determine which menu’s will need to be updated. Menu’s can be updated on the IMMU screen.

For Example, in the menu 'EP_SPLASH'

Item	Type	Function
IEMMO	Call Function	IEMMO

For Example, in the menu 'ESS_SPLASH'

Item	Type	Function
MESSAGES	Call Function	IEMMO

Icon Name: messages_splash.gif

Step 3

Make sure the users getting access to the system have “Retrieve” privileges on IMER

Step 4

The following screens can be used to place messages

• IDEN
• IDGR
• IDUN
• IDDP
• IDJB
• IDAA
• IDOL
• IMUS
• IMRO
• IEID

Different screens will result in messages appearing to different users. Placing a message on IDEN will cause everyone in the company to see the message, while placing a message on IEID will result in only the individual that the message is placed having the ability to see the message.

Step 5

In one of the screens noted above in Step 4, select the following icon to insert a message.

Once the icon is clicked, a pop up window will appear where the user can enter the message.

Ensure the Note Type is 'Memo'. Add a start and end date to the message. Key in the message body in the Note Text box (Note message cannot exceed 2000 characters)

Step 6

Log out and log back in. The message should now appear.
