Scheduled  Msgs

The  Scheduled  Messages   screen  can be accessed  by clicking  on the  Sched  label  on r  Pro s main

screen,  or by choosing   Scheduled   from the  View  menu.  This  option allows  you to make changes  to a

message  that has  been  scheduled  for delivery, but hasn t  been  sent yet.

To edit a scheduled  message,  highlight  a message  entry on the  Scheduled  Messages   screen  and then hit the

 Edit  button.  A message  box will  appear  to let you know that this message  will  not be delivered  until you hit the

 Send  button again (even if you don t make  any changes).   the data from the message  you selected  will  be filled

into the regular  r  Pro screen.   Make the necessary  changes  and then  resend  the message  by hitting

the  Send  button.

Selected  Recipients

The  Selected  Recipients   list box is displayed  on the r  Pro s main  screen.   It lists  recipients  (pagers)

that the next message  will  be sent to.  Recipients  are added  to the  Selected Recipients   list  by choosing  them

from the  Recipient  List   box (see   Recipient  List   for more  details).   You can remove a single  recipient  from this

list by simply  clicking  on the name  of the recipient.  Clicking  the  Clear  button to the right of the  Selected

Recipients   box, will  clear all the recipients  in the list.

Clicking  on the  Send  button will  send  the message  in the  Message  Text  area to all the recipients  (pagers)  in

the  Selected  Recipients   list.  The  Send  button will  animate  to confirm  your mouse  click on the button.  The

 Message  Text  and  Selected  Recipients   boxes are not cleared  after clicking   Send  (unless  the  Clear on Send 

option  in the setup screen  is  enabled),  enabling  you to resend  the message  if needed.   To clear either  of these

boxes, simple  click the  Clear  button to it s right.

Sender s  Name

The  Sender s  Name   is  sent at the beginning  of each message,  so the recipient  knows  who  the message  is

sent from.   A short  name  should  be used  because  most  pagers  only display  a limited  number  of characters  on

their screens.   The  Sender s  Name   setting  is located  on the  Tools    >  Settings    >  General  screen.

The  Sent  status  number  on the main  r  Pro screen  shows  how  many messages  have been

successfully  sent  by this workstation.   By clicking  on the  Sent  label,  you can bring  up the full   Sent Messages 

log.  See  Sent Messages   for more  information  on the log.
