You may use the CLIFF messaging system to send your own messages. CLIFF messages are not intended to replace email so they do not include many of the features you would find in an email program. The benefit of CLIFF messages over email is that you can send to all the CLIFF users in your organization without knowing their personal email addresses.
To Create a Message
Click on the Message 
button in the User Toolbar. A window with a list of messages will be displayed as shown below:
Click on New Message at the top of the window. The Message input form is displayed as shown below:
Enter who you are sending the message to. You may send it to another user, a single office, or all offices. If sending to an office, or all offices, select the recipient from the popup list.
If you are sending to an individual enter their user name. There is no need to select their Office.
Choose how many days the message is to be displayed before CLIFF deletes it. Note that you may delete it yourself at any time. If you send the message to an individual user, they may also delete the message. Note that there is default maximum assigned by your systems people so the message may be automatically deleted before it expires.
If you want the message to be sent sometime in the future, click Schedule to set a date and time as to when the message should be sent.
Set the priority of the message.
Enter the message.
Click Save to send the message.
