Introduction
The Administrator Inbox facilitates private, two-way communication between administrators and select program participants.
To send a message to all participants and display a static announcement in a shadowbox the next time a user accesses Chronus, use the Announcements feature instead. Note that announcements are only available at the track level.
About the Administrator Inbox
Program participants can send a message to the Admin Inbox by clicking Contact Admin at the top right of the page, or by selecting Contact Administrator in the left navigation menu. Non-participants are able to send messages to the Admin Inbox by selecting "Contact Admin" on the top right of the program overview page prior to logging in or having access to the program.
All administrators in a program track share access to the Admin Inbox, allowing you to divvy up the responsibility of monitoring inquiries. However, replies to messages will be from the individual admin who responded.
Note that each track has its own unique Administrator Inbox. There is also a global-level Administrator Inbox for global administrators, should a user need assistance there.
