Memos

The memo feature in AyaNova is used to communicate between users of AyaNova.

It is not linked in any way to external email; it is strictly internal to AyaNova.

Memos would be typically used to inform AyaNova users of information internal to their organization, or notes to themselves, etc.

For example, it may be used to send a memo to all scheduled users advising them of approved attire on jobs.

You can create new memos, send to multiple AyaNova users, reply to a received memo, and forward a memo with or without additional comments to another AyaNova user.

You can also be notified of an AyaNova event via memo if the delivery method for your notification subscription is an internal AyaNova memo

The Memo grid

The Memo's grid is accessed via the <Username> navigation pane, where <Username> is the user's name logged in.

This is where you can create a new memo, view in grid format messages received that have not been deleted, and refresh the Memo grid. When viewing a memo that you have received, you can reply to that memo to the user that sent it, as well as forward that memo to other AyaNova users.

As with other grids in AyaNova, you can move the columns, pin the first column, and filter by columns.

Memos not yet read will display all text in bold

Memos that you have replied to or forwarded will display an icon of in the Replied column

In addition to the column identifying the status of the memo, there are also columns identifying who the memo was from, the column identifying the subject, a column identifying the sent date, and a column identifying the relative sent.

The Sent (relative) is useful so you can see at a quick glance how long ago someone sent the memo

Click on the Refresh button at the top of the grid to refresh the grid.

You will note that on the right of the Subject field is a little red exclamation mark. As with this when seen in other areas in AyaNova, this indicates a required field – it can not be left blank. Note how the red exclamation mark disappears once you enter text in the Subject field.

This also applies to the Message field.
