You can navigate to Daily Messages in 2 ways. You can click the Features tile in the Home screen and then click the Daily Messages tile, or you can click the Daily Messages tab in the left hand menu.
​
​

​
Daily Messages are great for including quick, digestible information about the day.
Some examples include: Block Schedule(A/B/C Days), Early Release Days, No School or any day themed announcements.
​
​
​

(1) "Importing" (a csv file)
(2) manually entering the messages in the "Calendar View" or "List View"
(3) inserting an "iCal URL"
​
​

​
​
For both the Importing and "iCal URL" options, the "Daily Messages" are pulled from them and automatically created.
​
​
Detailed information about each way:

First, click the Import button show above. The box below will appear. You must format your CSV file exactly as shown in the box, as well as screenshots below. There is also a downloadable file for you to fill in.
​

The formatted template is available to edit and save for your School. Then simply drag the Excel file into the attachment section or browse to select one to Import.
​
Click to browse to open your File Explorer.
​
​

Here is an example of what the file should look like.
​

If your file is uploaded successfully, this is what your screen will look like. It will give you a summary of the records, and let you know if there were any invalid records. It will also ask if you want to apply this to other sites - if you are a multi-site with many schools on the same schedule, or with the same daily messages, this can be helpful.
​
Click continue. The system will show you another screen letting you know if there are any errors. If there are no errors, click continue again. Then, a final screen will appear and ask to review data for import.
​

Then, the calendar will automatically populate.
​

Manually create "Daily Messages"
First, click on the List View or Calendar View icon above - it is the icon between Import and iCal URL, and will change depending on the view you are in.
​
Here you can click on a day to Create "Daily Messages" and you can also select "Edit" to directly edit the "Daily Messages".
​
​

​
You write your message, determine if you want it to last multiple days or repeat. Also, if you manage a multi-site, you can choose to apply the message to more than one of your sites.
​
​

This is what the Edit screen looks like if you want to change one daily message:
​

If you want to bulk delete events, this is most easily done in the List View. Checkmark all items you want to delete, then click Delete at the bottom of the list.
​
​

Here you can insert your school's iCal URL. This means any changes you make to your calendar online will also be made to the calendar in the app. To do this, click on the iCal URL button shown above. Place your iCal URL into the box shown below. Click Save.
​
​

You will then need to process the iCal. This button is on the right side of the screen in the iCal menu. Click Process iCal.
​

A message will pop up saying the iCal is processing. It will sometimes say that the processing is taking a few minutes; this is normal.
​

To check on the iCal processing, go into your Calendar or List view to see if events have populated. If events have populated, the iCal processing was successful.
