The messaging interface is reachable from the main menu. It allows sharing some individual or group messages, in a thread mode, allowing higher interactivity and a better user experience.

On the left side of the interface you can find the list of message threads, and on the right side the current thread. By clicking on a thread on the list, you can display it on the right side.

You can start a new messaging thread by clicking on the "New message" on the top left side of the interface.

If you create a discussion group, you will then have to enter a subject, upload a picture, select the participants (for that you can either filter by class or by training to directly select all the users from a class or from a training), write the first message and click on the send button.

If you create a private discussion, you will then have to select a person and to write the first message and click on the send button.

Note: depending on the permissions set by your platform administrator, you may have some restrictions about the users you are allowed to directly contact.

When receiving a new message, a green bullet appears on the top-right menu, mentioning unread messages.

You can click on that pictogram to open the messages page

Note

The default permissions regarding the recipients that a user can select when writing a new message are implemented as follows:

Students can only invite the global user managers + local user managers for their trainings + class managers for their classes + other students as per the social settings (learn more at Managing social settings)
