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.

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
