Summary
Step 1
Select New under Messages.
To open Rooms you will first need to log in to Apptegy. Directions for that can be found on the Apptegy Login page.
To create a message in Rooms you will need to have set up the Class you want to message. Directions for that can be found on the Rooms Set Up a Class page.
A. Once you have completed the steps above, in the Apptegy menu at the left, select the Rooms icon so the sub-menu under it opens.
B. Select the 'Messages' icon from the Rooms sub-menu.
C. Select the purple 'New' button.
D. Your list of contacts may be sorted into categories:
Students (in your classes),
Guardians (of those students),
Staff, and
Classes (the ones you created in Rooms).
Type a name in the 'Search messages' bar to reduce the 'Suggestions' in the contact list.
E. Select the information icon to view details about the contact.
F. Select the student or guardian's name to add them to the 'To:' list for your message.
G. Alternatively, you can select the purple circle icon to select check boxes of individuals to add all at once.
Step 2
Complete and Send Message
A. Select the 'X' after any name to remove them from the 'To:' list.
B. Optionally, add a group name for easy identification of the group later.
C. Read through the 'Group message' message closely for how the message is sending. It lists who will receive the message but also indicates individuals will be able to message each other.
D. It is suggested you check this box so that the message is sent to each person on the list individually. This is similar to sending a blind copy in email. The messages reach everyone on the list but they cannot respond to others because addresses are hidden. When you check this box the 'Group message' described in the previous step will change to indicate the email addresses are kept private.
E. Place your cursor where it says 'Start typing message'. Be cautious not to use the Enter button on your keyboard because that will send the message.
F. Select the '+' icon to add an image or file to your message.
G. If you reference a person in your message you can select the '@' icon and then select their name from the list so that their name in the message turns into a hyperlink so others can contact that person.
H. Select the microphone icon to use the speech to text feature.
I. Press enter on your keyboard or select the paper airplane icon to send the message.
When you return to Messages you will be able to pick up with your message by typing in the new message field under your previous message or you will be able to select the message replies to return a message.
