Personal messages display a message to one employee on that employee's Home page.
This administrative screen gives you the ability to create personal messages for a selected employee. An employee can view messages of this type from their My Home screen (Home -> My Home).
Example messages might be a notice about a cash advance, bonus, or a request to complete their timesheet. By supplying a start and end date to the message you have the ability to create a message prior to the time the employee will see the message. Once the end date as passed, the personal message will no longer appear on the user's My Home screen.
Personal messages can be found and modified from within the employee's 'Personal Messages' folder. To create a new personal message, select the 'New Message' button.
