Posting a Message

Posting a Message will queue it to be delivered to the Message's targeted Contacts.

To post a Message

1. From the Component List, click the Message you would like to view.
2. Click the Modify button from the Action Bar.
3. A Component window will be launched displaying the Content view.
4. From the View Bar, click Summary.
5. From the Summary view, click the Post button.
6. The Post Message dialog will be loaded.

   

7. Define the Message scheduling. The default is for the Message to be sent immediately.
8. Click the Advanced tab.
9. From the Transmission list, you can click either:
   • Create New Transmission which will create a new transmission for this post. If this Message is on a recurring schedule, a new transmission will be created each time this Message is sent.

     OR

   • Append to Latest Post Transmission which will append the results from this post to the latest transmission. If this Message is on a recurring schedule, each time the Message is sent results will be appended to the same transmission.
10. Click the Next button to continue.

    

11. Confirm that the settings are correct and click the Post button to post the Message.

Even when scheduled to send immediately, a Message will be queued for five minutes before it is sent. This allows some leeway for cancelling a Message that has been inadvertently posted with errors.
