Message Board / Memos#

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 Browser and Admin User Interfaces.

The desired messages will be displayed on the Memo list (IEMMO_SPLASH) 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_SPLASH 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. Menus can be updated on the IMMU screen.

For Example, in the menu 'NG_SPLASH_TAB2'

Item	Type	Function
MESSAGES	Call Function	IEMMO_SPLASH

For Example, in the menu 'ESS_SPLASH'

Item	Type	Function
MESSAGES	Call Function	IEMMO_SPLASH

Step 3

Make sure the users getting access to the system have “Retrieve” privileges on IMER to IEMMO_SPLASH, IEMMO_DRILL, and IEMMO.

Step 4

The following screens can be used to place messages

• IDEN - By Entity
• IDGR - By Group
• IDUN - By Unit
• IDDP - By Department
• IDJB - By Job
• IDAA - By Authorization Area
• IDOL - By Organization Level
• IMUS - By User Profile
• IMRO - By Role
• IEID - By Employee (Identity)

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

Step 5

In one of the screens noted above in Step 4, select the "User Notes" icon to insert a memo.

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

Step 6

Add a start and end date to the message if required. Without them the message will display always.

Ensure the Note Type is 'MEMO'.

Give the memo a Title of up to 200 chars (No HTML here).

The only other field to be concerned with here is the Note Text. Key in the message body in the box (Note message cannot exceed 4000 characters), HTML characters can be used for formatting here. In the Browser UI there is a built in editor which puts the HTML in behind the scenes for you.

Step 7

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

Further info

Clicking on the title in the IEMMO_SPLASH (in Browser only) will take the user to the IEMMO_DRILL screen to see the full details of the memo.

Clicking on the "All" button will take the user to the IEMMO screen to view all the memos available to them.
