A broadcast message conveys critical information that needs immediate attention. Broadcast messages are created by State or County system administrators. They appear in the main Ohio SACWIS screen for the workers to whom the message is sent (within a particular agency or statewide)
Send a broadcast message as follows:
Click the Administration tab at the top of the screen. The Staff screen appears.
Click the Maintenance tab. The Agency Search screen appears.
Click the Broadcast Message link in the menu on the left. The Broadcast Message Search screen appears.
Select the agency to which the message applies, then click Search. Broadcast messages that apply to the agency you selected appear in the search results table. As an agency system administrator, you can create messages only for your own agency.
Click the Edit link for the message you want to update, or click Add Broadcast Message for a new message. The Broadcast Message Details screen appears. You can edit only the broadcast messages you created.
Complete the fields on this
screen.
If you are a State system administrator, select the recipients
of this message. You may select more than one. (These options are
not available to agency system administrators.)
Click Save. You are returned to the Broadcast Messages Search screen. The system will broadcast the message to the Home screen of the workers within the group you specified and during the times you specified.
