This program will provide the user a way to create and maintain event messages for communication.

For Student Event Messages in User Management, a user will need to have Category>Telephony and Program> EDGEAR Home Interface System RW.

For Staff Event Messages in User Management, a user will need to have Category>Telephony and Program> Staff Events RW.

Menu Location

Communication > Entry > Student Event Messages or click on the Phone icon at the top right of the screen.

Whether the menu option is used or the phone icon is chosen, a Normal or an Emergency call can be created to send out to students and staff.

For creation of the emergency description buttons, go to Communication>Message Manager>Emergency tab.

Select either Normal or Emergency.

Note that only staff members that have permission can view and create Emergency call(s), which is hard coded in the JCall system. They are Admin (AD and 700), Principals (PR, S0), Assistant Principals (AP), and Superintendent (SI). A 911 call manually cannot be input when creating a new message and is only available through the emergency call button.

Setup Options

Year - Defaults to the current year. A prior year may be accessed by clicking in the field and making the appropriate selection from the drop down list.

District - Default value is based on the user's security settings. It will be limited to their district only.

School - Default value is based on the user's security settings. If the user is assigned to a school, the school default value will be their school site code.

All Students and Staff - Click to choose all students and staff members. The totals of the students and staff will display below the buttons. Click on the totals to see a roster of the student/staff with other information as well.

All Students - Click to choose all students. The total of the students will display below the buttons. Click on the total to see a roster of the students with other information as well.

Make sure the student's parent/guardian has correct information and are not blocked in Student Master to receive messages. Also, the user can check the Do Not Call List to make sure they are not blocked.

All Staff - Click to choose all staff. The total of the staff members will display below the buttons. Click on the total to see a roster of the staff with other information as well.

Make sure the staff has correct information in Human Resource Master> Contact Information field> Email Types/Addresses fields to receive messages.

Student Filters - Click to be able to choose from filters for the students.

Staff Filters - Click to be able to choose from filters for the staff members.

Schedule Call - Select if the message is to be scheduled for a future date/time.

Date - Select the date for the message to go out.

Time - Select the start time for messages to start going out.

Stop Time - Set the stop time for this call. Any calls that have not been processed at this time will not be sent.

In Communication Configuration, calls are set for start and stop times for the district as a whole. But, the intended purpose of this stop time option is to ensure calls, that are only useful until a certain time period, do not go out after that time. It is a further limit to the stop time set in Communication Configuration but not an override. If that option did act as an override, everyone with access to the program could bypass the stop times. Other than changing the stop time options in Communication Configuration, the only way to send out messages after hours would be to use the Emergency call option.

Next- Click to continue.

Click on the drop down arrow in the top line for a list of messages to choose from.

SMS 160 Text Message - Select to send out a SMS 160 Text Message. Each district will have their own 800 series (844, 866, etc.) number for all SMS messages.

We have worked with carriers to ensure your district is identified and the messages are not filtered as spam.

In order to choose the language for the student, go to Student Master> Country Entry> Home Language pull down option and select the language needed.

A - There is not currently a way to schedule multiple JCalls all in one setup process. However, once the first JCall is created that message is saved and available to send as many times as you want without having to type it out again. To do this, you would need to select the message type as Campaign Message and the click on the On The Fly tab to see all previously sent messages. Then, just select the message and hit Send.

Then, just select the message and hit Send.
