2.6 Sending Messages to Users

Use the Send Message to User utility to send a simple message to users on the network. You can send the message to a single user or group or to multiple users or multiple groups of users. The message appears on the receiver's screen in a message pop-up dialog box. On your screen, the Send Message Results dialog box shows the results. Only users who are logged in at the time you send the message receive the message.
