It’s easy to stay in touch with all your organizations from the Command Center interface—whether you want to get your message across (with the Announcements feature) or see what others are saying (the Chats feature).

Announcements Page: Getting Your Message Across

View Recent Announcement Details

The Announcements page makes it easy to tell how the messages you send from Command Center are getting across. You’ll also be able to see who sent it, to whom, how many employees read and/or acknowledged it, and what percentage of the entire team that represents.

Use the “See Details” button to see messages sent within your organizations in their entirety and track readership by organization.
