Server administrator: Broadcast message
You can send an instant message to everyone connected to this memoQ server. The message is supposed to be about a technical matter, such as an upcoming server maintenance. You can notify the users that the server will be taken offline.
Requires memoQ project manager: You need the project manager edition of memoQ to manage a memoQ server or a memoQ cloud.
You need to be a project manager or an administrator: You may manage the server only if you are a member of the Project managers or Administrators group on the memoQ server. To change most settings, you must be member of the Administrators group.
How to get here
-
At the very top of the memoQ window - in the Quick Access toolbar -, click the Server Administrator (cogwheel in a cloud) icon. The Server Administrator window opens, with the Connection pane.
Or: On the Project ribbon, click Server Administrator.
- Under Category, click Broadcast message. The Broadcast message pane appears.
What can you do?
- Type or paste your message in the Message box.
- Choose when the message should appear:
- To send it immediately, click Instant.
- Or, to send it later - and keep it displayed for a longer period -, click Scheduled. Choose a date and a time in the From and in the Until boxes. The message will be visible on the users' screens between the two times.
- To always give a warning to users when they close memoQ: Check the Display on exiting memoQ check box.
- Click Broadcast.
If a message is to stay on for a period of time, you can change it after it was sent.
- Under History, select the message.
- Under the list, click Edit.
- The message appears in the Message box. Make your changes, and click Broadcast.
Under History, select a message. Click Delete. memoQ will delete the selected message. If a message is still on when it is deleted, it will no longer appear on the users' screens.
Or: Under the list, click Delete all. memoQ deletes all messages.
To automatically delete messages after they were sent, click the Cleanup tab.
Choose from the following options:
- Immediately: Broadcast messages are not preserved after their occurrence. An instant message disappears right after being sent. A scheduled message is deleted after its time window is over (Until).
- Automatically after N days (1-1000): Type a number of days in the box. Messages are automatically deleted after this number of days (after they are sent). You can choose a time between 1 and 1000 days. Normally, memoQ deletes messages after 28 days.
- Never: memoQ will not delete messages automatically. You need to do it manually.
