Managing Messages

Message management in the Data Portal is no independent message system, but only serves the task that users can send messages to each other or to a user group, for example for the transfer of status information. Note that each user can receive messages, but only users with an EPLAN Data Portal professional license can send messages.

The message management is carried out in the Mail tab of the User data dialog.

A user can only send messages to users who share at least one group with him, and the user can send messages to groups in which she / he is an active member.

The "Subject" of a message is restricted to 160 characters, the actual text of the message to 2,000 characters. The mailbox size and the expiration date after which messages will be auto-deleted are controlled by means of an internal setting; defaults here are 1 MB and 30 days.

Using the settings you can determine whether received messages are to be forwarded to your e-mail address. In addition to greeting and short info as to content, a message forwarded as e-mail contains the subject and the message text and a link to the message within the Portal.

If a new message has been received, you are made aware of it by means of the button next to your login name in the title area of the Data Portal. A click on this button opens the User data dialog directly on the Mail tab.
