You can send messages to single distributors, or a large group.
Log in as Admin.
Select Distributor from the left hand menu:
This brings up the Distributor Search page. From here you can message your distributors.
The first step is to check that the search preferences will not skip single results (in case you wish to message a single distributor).
Click the 'Search Preferences' item to expand preferences:
From here, click the radio option 'No' for Skip Single Result:
Click Update Prefs.
This ensures that single matches will display on this page, rather than automatically jumping forward to the Distributor Details page in the event of only one match. This is useful if you wish to message a single distributor.
Now enter the search details for the distributors you wish to message into Search By:
Click Search. Any matches for your criteria are displayed.
Note: if you use '%' as the search criteria, all your distributors will be shown. If you want to message all distributors this would be the first step in selecting them.
The resulting list will have tick boxes displayed at the end of each row entry. Tick the boxes for the distributors you wish to message:
Or simply click the 'Check All' box to select everyone in the list (the second step in messaging all distributors if you used '%' as the search criteria):
Click the 'Send Custom Message' link:
This exposes the messaging area.
Enter your message to the distributor(s) then click 'Post':
An "Emails sent successfully" header will appear the the top of the page once sending has been processed:
Your selected members will have been sent an email with the details you used, as well as having a compulsory message they must acknowledge on next login.
What members see on next login:
When the selected members next go to their members lounge, they will be presented with an acknowledgement area containing the message sent to them at the top of the screen:
The members must agree to having read the message before they can progress to other areas.
