Group Notices

Group notice is a pop-up message which is delivered to all members of your group. Members will receive it even being offline: SL sends the notification by email.

The following Must be taken into consideration:

• Title of a notice may have a length of 254 characters and can not contain non-Latin characters.

• Text of notice can have up to 512 bytes (International characters can occupy 2 bytes or more)

• Attachments can be chosen to be added from a list of registered attachments. To register an attachment it should be sent to the bot managing your group and have the copy+ trans permission to allow the bo to send it. You can also set the next owner no copy / mod permissions if you want the recipients to be not able to give it away

One-time and periodic notices

There are two types of the group notices at SmartBots:

1. One-time notices
2. Periodic notices

All notices can have the inventory item attached (landmark, notecard or any other SL item).

One-time notices

These are notices to be sent once (either immediately or on a certain time). To create them go to the "One-Time Notices" tab .

When you create a group notice you must choose one (or more) groups which will recieve this notice. Next you need to select the date and time of delivery and enter text.

Notices will be delivered according to schedule. After delivery of the notice next to it will be noted when it was delivered:

Periodic notices

These notices are different in that they are automatically sent to the group in accordance with the schedule. Schedule includes:

   * One or more time (can send the same notice at 4,5,6 and 7 am etc)

   * Day of the month

   * Allowed the days of the week

After the creation of notice system will send out schedule when the bot is active. You can temporarily turn of any periodic notice.
