You can use message groups to send the same message to all members of a group at the same time. You create a message group by giving it an ID and assigning user IDs to the group. Users can belong to more than one message group.
From User Maintenance you can:
Assign users to message groups for which they have authorization.
Remove users from message groups.
To assign users to message groups:
From the System > System Files > User Control menu, select User Maintenance to display the User Maintenance screen.
In the User ID field, enter a user's ID to display the corresponding record.
Use the Addl hot key to display the Additional Data screen.
Use the Msg Groups hot key to display the Message Groups Selection screen.
The screen displays a list of message groups to which the user belongs. Personal message groups are indicated by a (P) following the ID.
Do the following, as needed:
To add the user to a new group, position the cursor on a blank line, press F10, and select a group.
Note: If the user is assigned the MESSAGE.GROUP.TYPES authorization key, the F10 list contains only those groups for which the user is authorized.
To remove the user from a group, position the cursor on the group and press Alt-Delete.
Press Esc three times to update the user record and exit User Maintenance.
