About this feature: A Personal Message is like an electronic sticky note. You can choose to leave a personal message for one volunteer or apply the same message to multiple profiles at once.
Users will see this message on the home page of their profile. Volunteers will also see their personal message displayed when clocking in through the timeclock.
Users can choose to keep or delete the message. Once deleted, the message is no longer visible in the system to users or administrators. Administrators can also delete personal messages.
IMPORTANT: Personal Messages show up on the User's profiles when they log in to their My Impact Page, as well as on the Timeclock and Express Timeclock pages.
Since the Express Timeclock page does not require a password to start and or stop a timeclock, we would suggest not using the personal message to share any confidential or personally identifiable information on this message.
