| Instructions for
Principals (and specified staff*) on how to send an FDbroadcast |
| To send an FDbroadcast, you will need
to click on the 'Home' icon and then click 'Compose' to create a new
message. |
|
After clicking 'Compose', you will select your recipients,
compose your message and then select 'FDbroadcast' in the notification
drop down. Finally, click 'Send' to send out your FDbroadcast.
 |
| *A
text forward containing part of the body of your FDmail message will be
sent to the selected recipients. SMS technology will truncate the body
of the message according to its character limit rules (150 characters,
which includes the name of the sender and a link to login) and will
strip any HTML code used within the message. Please keep this limited
character length in mind when composing your message. |
Please Note: As a security measure, the
principal is initially the only staff account that is able to send an
FDbroadcast. However, the principal can permission additional staff
accounts with the ability to send an FDbroadcast. To do so, the
principal will edit a specific staff account and select 'Yes' next to
the option for 'Allow FDbroadcast', then click 'Change (name) as shown
above'.
