Configure dynamic messaging

Overview

These settings let you customize how Dynamic messaging is used in your Skedulo system. Dynamic messaging is a Skedulo accelerator product that injects instant messaging capabilities into the web and mobile apps. It provides a quick and flexible way of communication platform for resources in the office or in the field to stay up to date on information they need to complete their work throughout the day.
