Workboard Text & Email Profile

Text Message (Yes/No):

Indicate “Yes” if you wish to receive text messages or “No” if Workboard is not to send a text when the employee is requested.

Start Time/End Time:

A text message will only be sent if the absence they are requested for is logged between the start and end times set in these profile options. This allows users to set a time range for receiving messages that will not disturb them if an absence is logged late at night. If they are requested for an absence logged during their "off" time, they may either set email to a different range and check emails first thing in the morning, or they will be called out in the usual order by the phone system or see the job when it becomes available on workboard. They will not receive a text message if the absence is logged during their "off" time.
