Message Management
Adding messages and assigning related permissions
Within models and conversations there is a dedicated area for messaging. From here you can communicate with colleagues and share useful content.
By default, all models present in the Workspace are visible to users with Standard role or higher.
Users with Viewer role can access a model only if the model has been assigned to a User Group they belong to.
Important
Group assignment does not automatically guarantee access to model contents.
To make messages within the model visible to Viewer users as well, it is necessary to configure specific permissions for each message, as described in the following section.
Add a New Message
Select a model or a conversation.
Position the cursor in the text field at the bottom and write the message.
Click Send to add the message to the model or conversation.
Add a Message Visible to Viewer Users
Select a model or a conversation.
Position the cursor in the text field at the bottom and write the message.
Before sending it, select the Enable for Viewers checkbox under the text field to make it visible to Viewer users as well.
Click Send to add the message to the model or conversation.
The message will be immediately visible to all users with access, including Viewers.
Modify the Visibility of an Existing Message
To enable or disable message visibility for Viewer users:
Select the model or conversation and locate the message.
Messages visible to Viewers are marked with a three-user icon in the top left corner.
Hover over the message and click Show/Hide to Viewers to modify access.
The three-user icon will appear or disappear based on the current visibility of the message.
Visibility modification is immediate and Viewer users will immediately be able to view the message.
Save a Message to Bookmarks
You can save a message to access it quickly later.
Hover the mouse pointer over the message and click the bookmark icon.
To view all saved messages, click Saved Messages.
To remove a message from bookmarks, click the icon again or delete it from the saved messages list.
Create a Draft Message with Attached Files
When you start writing a new message, the content is automatically saved as a draft.
If you exit and return later to the same model or conversation, you will find the text already entered.
You can attach files from your computer: these will also be saved in the draft, along with the current message. Go to the File Management section for more information.
To view all drafts, click Draft Messages in the main menu. You will find the list of models or conversations with messages not yet sent.
Create a Broadcast Message
The Broadcast Message functionality allows you to send the same message to multiple models simultaneously, with a single action.
Access the Dashboard and click the
+button at the top left in the top toolbar.Select Broadcast Message from the dropdown menu.
Start typing the name of one or more models to send the message to and select them from the list.
Write the message in the text field.
You can tag a model or conversation using the # character.
Check the "Enable for Viewers" option if you want Viewer users to see the message as well.
Click Send to complete sending.
Cancel Sending a Broadcast Message
Once sent, the message is added to all selected models.
If you notice an error, you can cancel sending by clicking Cancel sending in the confirmation alert that appears at the bottom right of the screen.
You have 5 seconds to cancel the operation.
After this interval, the message can no longer be automatically removed from all models. You will need to access individual models and proceed with the normal message deletion procedure.
