How do I send an internal message to a colleague?

Animana offers a method to communicate with your colleagues online. This can be used to have conversations between one or multiple Animana users at the same time. This article will explain how to send a message to another user.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Click the message icon at the top-right.

  2. This will take you to your inbox.
  3. Click Send New Message at the top.

  4. Enter a subject in the field “subject”.
  5. Type your message in the box “message”.
  6. Select the person you want to send this message to on the right-hand side of the screen.

    If this message needs to be sent to multiple people, simply add more recipients by clicking their individual names – or click a user group name below that.

  7. Scroll down and click Send.

When a message is clicked and closed, the message will automatically be marked as read.

What can I do with a received message?

Once you open a message you have the following options:

  • You can remove the message by clicking Delete.
  • You can close the message by clicking the cross in the top-right. The message will be automatically closed, saved and marked as read.
  • You can close the message and mark it as unread by clicking Mark Unread.
  • You can answer the message by clicking Reply.
