The Messages tab serves as the hub for communications that take place between group members. (Note that for closed groups, the Messages tab is not accessible to non-members; users will see the tab but will see alternate messaging instead of the sections that a group member would see.)
The messages tab consists of the following sections:
About Messages
This section shows a Curriki-provided explanation of the Messages tab, unless the group leader chooses to edit this explanation to show more or different information. For instance, a group leader could use this space to display best practices for messaging to the group, tips on formatting messages, prompts to review certain important messages, etc.
Create a New Message
This section offers the "Create" button that group members use to start composing a new message. Clicking the "Create" button will bring up the page where you can enter the subject or title for a message and create its contents.
When you create a new message, you have the option to send your message to the entire group, to an individual member or members within the group, or -- if your group has roles -- to a group of members based on their role. Note that you can only send role-based messages if you yourself are a member of that role group. Group leaders who wish to frequently send out messages based on the member role should edit their profile to select all roles for the group.
You can also decide if you want, along with posting the message in your group, to send email notification to recipients of the message (which will only work if the recipients have allowed email notification in their group settings).
Messages List
This list shows any existing messages for the group, with the newest messages appearing at the top. Click the message title or the "View" link to see the full contents of a message and to add a comment or attachment to the message.
Messages cannot be deleted once they are submitted, however the Group leader is able to edit a message once it is posted.
