The Send a Message Utility is used to send an internal message to a specific SpendMap user, while the Broadcast a Message Utility is used to send internal messages to ALL SpendMap users.
This may be easier than using an external email system as you can select users from the User Master File or the Request-By Mater File to send messages to (no need to maintain a list of email addresses externally).
Recipients can then read their messages with Read Your Messages or using their email software, depending on the delivery option selected in email settings.
Questions & Options
1.When using Send a Message, you can either select a user from the User Master File or the Request-by Master File to receive the message. Selecting a Request-by Code will only be available if you have integrated the messaging system with your external email system using the applicable setting in email settings. That is, only users in the User Master File can use the Read Your Messages Utility.
When using Broadcast a Message, you will not see this prompt (i.e. messages will be sent to all users in the User Master File).
