Bulletin Board

Overview

The Bulletin Board utility is used much like a traditional bulletin board. Users may post notices that will display for a designated amount of time for other users of this portal. This information can include contact information for reaching the person who posted the notice.

The bulletin board is activated through Table Maintenance and portal access is granted using the Portal Menu Utility.

Portal Usage

Click on the name to access the bulletin board. Each enabled bulletin board and any active posts, as well as a User Preferences button, displays. Further details of the posts are accessed by clicking on the post name.

When the details of the post display, a Contact method will be available. The contact method that displays is determined by the originator of the post at the time the post is created. If the contact method selected was email, the user will be provided a text box.
