Broadcast

Using broadcast messages, you can remind users in memoQ or webtrans to take immediate action in online projects, such as close a project or sign out.

You can send a message to every user of the server, and view the previous broadcast messages sent to users. You need to be member of the Administrators group to send broadcast messages.

How to get here

  1. Open memoQweb (legacy) in a web browser. Log in as an administrator.
  2. Click the Admin tab. Below it, click the Broadcast tab.
  3. The Broadcast tab appears.

How messages are delivered

  • If a user is working in memoQ when a message is sent, she will see it immediately in a popup window.
  • If the user is offline when the message is sent, she will receive the message when she connects to the server again.
  • If a message is set to appear when memoQ is closed, users will receive it in a popup box when they exit memoQ. They must click again to exit memoQ, so that it is more likely that they read the message.
