Scheduling Messages to Send Later

You can schedule messages to be sent at a later time. For example, schedule a message to be sent at 4:30 p.m. as a reminder to yourself to run a report before the close of business.

To schedule a message to be sent later:

From the System menu, select Message System to display the Message screen.
In the User ID field, do one of the following:

Enter the ID of the user or message group to whom you want to send the message.
Press F10 to select from a list of user IDs and message group IDs.
Use the List hot key to create a distribution list.

In the Message field, enter the information you want to send.
Use the Opts hot key to display the Options screen.

The Active Time Zone, Send Date, and Send Time fields are populated with the current date and time for your time zone.

Change the above fields to the time at which you want the system to send the message.

Note: When you change the time zone, the system converts the currently displayed Send Time to that time zone, but does not change your system settings.

In the Transfer Msg to Reminders (Y/N) and Also Send Message Now (Y/N) fields, leave the entries as N. These fields apply to reminder notes.
Press Esc to schedule the message and return to the Message screen.
