Broadcast Message

Admins can create a message to be sent to selected users, groups, or everyone. It will be received in the form of an alert panel the next time each targeted user performs any action on VPC. Broadcasts can be used to convey system wide relevant information such as the system will be down for upgrading, or very pressing proposal specific information. Can set up multiple broadcasts to be seen by users sequentially. Broadcasts can also be viewed by the targeted user(s) from the Broadcasts Received panel. See document notification broadcast message for more information.

To send a Broadcast, select the target, select the hours till expiration, enter the message, and then click Send. The size of broadcast messages is limited to 255 characters. Use Ctrl C/ Ctrl V convention to copy to/from clipboard.

If accessed before selecting a proposal (only available to Zone Super Admin and System Admin), then valid targets are:
  • Users with access to that zone and Available status
  • Users with access to that zone regardless of status if All Zone Users is checked
  • ALL - All users with zone access
  • SYSTEM - All users (Only available to System Admin)

If accessed after selecting a proposal, then valid targets are:
  • Users with access to proposal
  • All users with access to zone if All Zone Users is checked
  • Proposal groups
  • PROPOSAL - all users with proposal access

Click on Send Proposal Welcome to resend proposal welcome. A panel will open enabling an additional message to be added to the standard greeting. Files can also be attached. The panel will also display users with access to the proposal. Users who have not been sent the welcome will be selected and bold. Uncheck “Also Send Third Party Welcome” if you don’t want third party welcome message to be sent to selected third party users along with proposal welcome e-mail. Select and Deselect users as desired and then click on Send.
