Broadcast an Activity to Eligible Resources

You can broadcast an activity to multiple users simultaneously, subject to the visibility of users.

You can broadcast an activity or its details using these methods:
  • Broadcast an activity to eligible resources, so they can accept or reject it

  • Broadcast only activity details by sharing the activity through a group message

  • Broadcast only activity details to a user group by dragging the activity

Note: You must have the Allow activity move between resources permission to broadcast activities.

To broadcast an activity to eligible resources:

  1. Open the Activity Details page for a pending activity that you want to broadcast.
  2. Open the Collaboration window and click the new conversation icon.
  3. Click Group Message > Activity.
    The application searches for resources that match the activity attributes such as work skill, work zone, and service window and then broadcasts the activities. You can view the selected list of recipients before broadcasting the message (10 at a time till a maximum of 100 users are reached). The recipient who accepts the transfer request first is assigned with the activity. The recipient can interact with the sender through a one-to-one chat. The maximum time period for the message expiry is 10 days. This table describes the options for recipients:
