Text Message: Settings

The Settings sub-tab allows you to specify the From Name and From Email Address for the text. The field that will be used by to indicate the sender depends on the carrier, so we recommend that you complete both fields. You can also specify whether the text for the given rule should include the Asset or Labor Photo.

Designate the text settings for a rule:

1. Ensure the Text Message action is selected.

2. Click the Settings sub-tab.

   The currently defined values display. When the rule is first created, the Email field will default to the email address of the user creating the rule.

3. Enter the name of whom the text should appear to be from in the From Name field.

4. Enter the email address that the text should appear to be from in the From Email Address field.

   Both From Name and From Email Address values are sent to the recipient's carrier. Which value is used will be dependent on the carrier.

5. Select the appropriate check boxes if you want to include the Asset or Event Labor Photo with the text message.

   Be sure to read the information displayed below these check boxes about the need to use the carrier's MMS gateway if photos will be sent with any rule.

6. Access the other Send Text Message tabs and make changes as needed: Event Recipients, Recipients, and Message.

7. Click Save.
