Dissemino messages
Messages are used by Dissemino to ensure notifications are prominently displayed so required actions are not overlooked. As new messages are received, a counter next to the user's profile will increase to indicate the activity.
licking on the user icon will bring up the user's menu, within which, separate pills will indicate the corresponding number of messages and actions that make up the total count displayed.
Managing your messages
On the Messages page you can manage all messages sent your user. You can mark messages as read or unread and delete them using the links at the top of the table when at least one message is selected.
Changing your messaging preferences
You can control which messages you receive by managing your 'Preferences' settings from the user menu at the top of the screen.
