Using the Message Center

PerfectShare Message Center

You are going to love the new threaded messaging feature in PerfectShare. All of your messages and all of the replies are in one place for quick retrieval and review. Each message you send is available exclusively to the users or teams you choose to give access. With our instant notification system an email is sent to each person who has been granted access to the message to let them know that it is there. So simple to use that anyone can do it.

To open the message center choose the message tab from the homepage. Everything you need to send your messages and reply to messages received is located in one spot that is a cinch to navigate.

mssg center

Your newest messages are displayed on the main page along with the date and time sent. Click on any of the messages to instantly see your original message and all the replies. Need to reply to a message in a thread? At the bottom of each thread you will find a standard reply window---just type your message and send. Each individual with access to the thread will instantly receive email notification that your reply is there. You can even choose the number of messages you want to display by selecting the number next to "Show New Messages"

Start a New Message

To start a new thread click the "add message" button on the right of your screen and a new window opens.

The format is self-explanatory. Add your subject, select a folder, or add a new folder, and type your message. Have attachments? Click the browse button, choose your file and you are ready to send a message complete with attachments that will be viewed by the recipients right in the body of the message they receive, no downloading necessary. The attachments can even be enlarged with a click of your mouse. Note: New threads can only be started by administrators.

Decisions, Decisions....
To Folder or, Not To Folder

If you choose to send a free standing message just choose "no folder" when starting a new thread. These messages will be seen on the main display and will also be available under the "uncategorized" heading on the right hand side of your screen.

A box will open that allows you to choose who you want to view this message. Just check the box in front of the name(s) and when you send your message--each individual will be instantly notified by email that your message is on the system.

Yes, To Folder.....

Would you like to sort your messages in an orderly fashion? In the new message center you can add as many folders as you need. Adding a new folder is a snap. Click "add folder" on the right of your screen or choose Add a Folder? under the subject line in a new message. A dialog box opens that allows you to name your folder, add a description and add permissions all at the same time.

Managing Your Folders

Effortlessly manage all your messages from the menu on the right side of your screen.

Folders names automatically alpha sort. Click on any folder to display its contents in the message area. Click on your uncategorized messages to open the thread, view all replies and even add another reply of your own.

Give yourself a break. Forget about that snarl of emails in your inbox and the hunt for that elusive missive Frank sent last month and you know is in there somewhere, but just cannot seem to find. With PerfectShare and our new threaded messaging system you can have all those important messages in one easy to use, well-ordered place.
