Communications

Internal Messaging Feature (Do not Use) 

While messages can be sent within Special Programs either on their own or linked to a document, please do not use this feature at this time.  Messages within Special Programs stay within the program.

The messaging system is not currently integrated with external email systems, and important communication may be missed.
