This feature allows users out in the field to send in app messages in real time to admins in the office using the web app.
1. Field Users will see a red icon with how many messages were sent on the project list screen. Users will also get a push notification (if enabled) on their mobile device when there is a new message on a project they have access to.
2. Tap on the project with the chat icon to open the project. Tap on the chat icon in the top right of the project view screen.
3. View the message and underneath you will see the who sent the message along with the time stamp.
4. To send a message, add text in the message box and tap the blue up arrow to send the message.
5. You will see the sent message with the time stamp. It will display one grey check mark in front of the time stamp, which means it was delivered but not read yet.
6. When the message was read by an admin, you will see a double blue check mark before the time stamp.
7. Press and hold down on a message and a pop up will appear with the ability to add a reaction. You can also reply, thread reply, mark as unread, copy message, edit the message, delete the message, flag, and mute user.
8. Users can see the list of the members that are on the chat channel so they know who will be notified when a message is sent. You can also see how many members are online. Tap on this area highlighted in red to see the names of all of the members.
