Note: To send messages, you must be authorized to use the Send Message screen.
The following procedure pertains to sending messages to other FASuite users or equipment unit drivers. To send a message to a driver, the equipment unit's GPS must be equipped with the QTracs fleet management system.
Step 1. Go to the System Mgmt -> Send Message screen.
Step 2. Click the Prepare for Insert 
button.
Step 3. Specify a recipient in one of the following fields. Each field has a list box.
-
To user ID: Specifies the individual user who will receive the message.
-
To user group ID: Specifies the user group that will receive the message.
-
To equipment ID: Specifies the equipment ID that will receive the message.
-
Note: To use this option, the GPS equipment ID field on the Assignments tab of the Data -> Equipment Units -> Fleet Equipment screen must specify a QTracs identifier. The message will be sent to the vehicle's driver.
Step 4. In the Subject field, type the subject of the message (optional).
Step 5. In the Message field, type the message text. This is a free-format area.
Step 6. To send the message, click the Process 
button.
A message box displays on the recipient’s screen, notifying him or her that a new message has arrived. If the recipient is not logged on to the same FASuite database as the sender, the message box appears the next time the user logs on to that database.
The message text includes the date and time sent.
