Creating Message Groups
Message Groups are used to group users together to make sending message more efficient. For example, all chefs could be grouped together and one email can be sent to the group via the message centre to let them know prices have changed.
- To set up a user group follow the path: Enterprise> Users > Message Groups
- Click on message groups and then on the ‘Add New Group' link

- Click on the link so that users can be added to the group.
