Web Portal Notices |
|
EnergySteward.com contains a powerful set of web portal access screens to allow your customers (counter parties, investors, vendors, markets, etc.) secured access to information you wish to share. One of the features, in the web portal, is an ability to post notices (messages). These messages can be targeted to all companies, specific companies or to certain groups of companies.
These web portal notices are created in the EnergySteward.com back office application (see menu screen shot below). Publishing these notices in the back office makes them available on the web portal.
Below is a screen shot of how you would access web portal notice setup/composition area:
Once you select the web portal notice menu selection, then the following lookup screen is presented. This lookup screen shows you all of the current AND historical message notices which have been setup and are/have been visible thru the EnergySteward.com web portal.
Add New Notice (button) - Click this button to add (compose) a new notice message which will be available thru the web portal.
View/Edit Grid Button (pencil) - Click this next to the applicable notice message (in the grid) in order to change any of the notice information EnergySteward.com.
Delete Grid Button (red x) - Click this next to the applicable notice message that you want to permanently delete. When you delete a notice message, then the message will be permanently deleted and no longer available (physically deleted). You might consider setting the 'Thru Date' on a notice to archive it for historical purposes. Important note: You will be presented with a confirmation ("Are you sure...?") dialog box prior to deletion.
The following lists out the various areas of information relative to a specific web portal notice within the system.
From Date - This represents the from date for when the notice is to appear in the portal. Notices can be setup in the future. This is a required field.
Thru Date - This represents the thru date for when the notice is to appear in the portal. Notices can be setup in the future. This is a required field.
Priority (drop down list box) - Currently, the only option here is 'Normal'. This is a required field.
Scope (drop down list box) - This is a required field and defines the scope of which companies will see this notice. The following options are available:
| • | All Companies - Notices which have this scope will be visible to all companies with individuals that have web portal notice access security privileges. |
| • | Specific Company - Notices which have this scope are intended for individuals at a specific company. These individuals must still have web portal notice access security privileges, but the notice is restricted to just the contacts (individuals) at the specified company. |
| • | Group Companies - Notices which have this scope are available to all individuals, for all companies, defined in the specified company group. As with the other scope options, the individuals in these companies must still have web portal notice access security privileges. |
Company (drop down list box) - If the scope is specified as a 'Specific Company', then this is where you will select which company contacts are to be eligible to view the notice.
Company Group (drop down list box) - If the scope is specified as a 'Group Companies', then this is where you will select the specific company group which is the target of the notice.
Subject - This is a required field. This represents the subject line for the notice.
Notice Message Area (main content section) - This represents the content area for the notice. Composing a notice message here is identical to how email messages are composed within EnergySteward.com . You can upload and embed graphic files, document/attachments, etc. The various buttons and pull down options at the top of this area provide many additional features (similar to MS-Word). There is no limits on the length of a notice message.
