The Messages tile receives important notifications sent out from SIS and ESF centre. It is very important that parents have turned on the notification on your mobile device.
Parents can choose to auto-forward ESF app notifications to Email address. Please see the detail crib sheet HERE for further information.
From Dashboard Setting, please choose "Immediate" for Notifications for General Messages and other messages specific to your child.
We will send
● Notifications of student-focused messages as they are issued (Immediate)
● A summary of General messages once a day (Daily)
You can control the frequency of notifications for each school and child, including the option to have no notifications (‘None’) by editing the settings (using the cog icon in the top right corner of the dashboard).
If you do not want notifications pushed to your device, you can select ‘None’. We strongly recommend you DON’T switch off App notifications in IOS settings as this will block emergency notifications, for example important travel updates linked to the protests or school closures due to typhoons.
A: You can filter the messages by your child's name if you have more than one.
B: Messages are also filtered by "Unread", "Flagged" and "Read". Messages you have read will be automatically accumulated in "Read" tab.
1. Reply: To reply to the sender (if available) please press "Reply" on the bottom left.
2. Flag: If you open a message and want to flag it as important - tap the flag at the bottom center of the screen and it will turn red.
3. Forward: To forward the message to your email (or to someone else) - you may click "Forward" on the bottom right.
Flagging is a useful way to keep track of your important messages.
You can quickly see all your flagged messages using the Flagged button (bottom middle).
To remove a flag from a message simply click again on the flag icon until it turns grey.
Once you have opened a message the ESF App will automatically move it to Read.
If you want to mark an individual unread message (without opening it) - swipe it left.
If you want to mark all unread messages a read - tap "Mark all as read" on the top right.
Note: There is no option for the user to delete messages. The system will automatically delete messages after a set period. If you wish to save a message, you may forward it to your personal account.
**Only on latest version (please update the App if you do not see the search tab. **
A. Click on "Read" on the Message.
B. Swipe the device screen downward.
C. Type the key word to quick search the message.
