How To Publish A Notice

After you have composed and tested your notice you can publish it to your target audience.  Publishing can be done from either the Notice List page or directly from the Notice Add/Edit page (after you have saved your notice).

When you click the Publish button you’ll see the Define Filter page.  On this page you have the option to filter your user list using any of the following options.

ALL Active Users – This will send each message to all users in your database that have not been flagged as INACTIVE or been deleted.

ReUse Saved Filter – If you have selected several filter options in a previous publish exercise and save this as a filter you can reuse the filter so that you do not have to select each of the filter options again.

Define a new filter, based on:

Knowlegebase Category – Select users who have subscribed to one or more knowledgebase categories to receive emails when new FAQs are added to that category.

Notification Group – Select users who have subscribed to one or more notification group.

Event Type – Select users who have subscribed to one or more Event Type to receive emails when you add a new event to your calendar.

Date User Added – Select users based on when they signed-up or were added to your database.

Alternatively, if you are only sending a phone message you can upload an ASCII delimited file that contains the name and phone number of the users you want to notify. This file should be in the format -

Name, Email, Voice #, SMS #

This option is useful if you want to send phone messages to users that may not be registered in your user list, or for whom you do not have a simple way to select them from the database.  An example would be parents of students who were late to school or absent.  If you have a student information system that can export these names and numbers, you can use your Notices Module with EZDialer-Voice to call them.
