Broadcast Groups

A broadcast group is a team of people who have an interest in a specific function or routine.

For large organizations it may be that many people are involved in very specific functions or routines across a department. For example, different support groups for different operating systems. In smaller organizations it is likely that one or two people have the responsibility of running all functions.

NOTE: Call Schedules can be members of broadcast groups but broadcast groups cannot be members of other broadcast groups.

Adding a Broadcast Group

  1. Click Add from the Members panel of the Home menu ribbon.
  2. From the drop-down choice menu, select Broadcast Group.

This page specifies the name and description of the broadcast group.
