Sort columns by clicking on the column headings to sort by that column. Sort multiple columns by holding down the 'Shift' key and clicking the second and subsequent columns.

If there is a ‘red alert’ icon in one of the columns, hover over the icon to view the reason that the communication can't be sent for that staff member.

Communication Log

All notifications, SMS and emails communications generated are logged in both the sender's and recipient's Communication Logs in Staff Kiosk, allowing for tracking and monitoring of the communication details.
