Messages

Effective communication is the key to successful management. With our Messages app you will be able to manage communication effectively and efficiently. Communication is the beating heart of project collaboration in Bricsys 24/7. In your profile you can review your communication preferences.

The Messages app allows you to send both private and public messages to other users. The other user(s) must also be included within the project.

To make communication more efficient all types of communication are stored in Messages app:

  • Messages
  • Notes
  • Annotations
  • Notifications

To receive messages in the Messages app, you must have access to the app.

Note: Access to the Messages app can be granted only by a project administrator
Tip: The ACTIVITY/DETAILS panel displays the message and folder details. The panel is only available for messages under PROJECT in the tool menu.

Create a new message

Messages work just like your email does, but it does not get lost, keep track of your emails. It is a great way to communicate effectively with other project members and not lose the information.

When you create a new message in the Messages app your recipient(s) receives an email with a link that transfers them directly to the Messages app where they can read the content of the message.

Add new recipient(s)

Only project members who can view the item will be selectable by typing the name of the user or selecting one from the mail list. Click the list to deselect certain members.

Note: You need to have access to communicate with other members of the project in order to send a notification.

Notifications

Easily inform other project members that can view the item about it. Typical examples are sending a notification about a newly uploaded document, a selection of documents etc.

Add the recipients, just like you would do for an email, write a subject and a message. The recipients will receive an email with your message and the items you are referring to.

Notes

Just like sticky notes, a note is visible over all the revisions of a document. You can use private notes or public notes.

Private note
When you select members of the project in the note, the note becomes private and only those who are a recipient of a note can view the note.
Note: Administrators can enable a feature allowing them to view all communications, including private communication.

Annotations

A great way to mark an area of a document and comment about it. Annotations can only be created in our online viewer. Simply choose the type of annotation you want to add, select the area, and add your message.

By default, only a subject is shown, click the More text… button to add a description to your comment.

You can send private annotations that are visible only for selected users, or public annotations that can be seen by all users who have access to the document.

Annotations are revision based. This means you cannot see the annotation of previous revisions when viewing the latest version of the document.
