On this screen, hospital staff can elect to receive one-way, SMS text message alerts when the following actions occur in the Staffing Dashboard:
A new assignment is created
An existing assignment is modified
An assignment is cancelled
Like the scheduling emails sent in Facility Scheduler, the SMS messages are automatically generated and sent when any of the above actions are completed in the Staffing Dashboard. Schedule changes executed in the Department Schedule or Daily Roster will continue utilizing phone calls and email notifications.
By default, staff members are opted-out of receiving SMS messages. You may change your opt-in and notification settings at any time; however you must activate and validate your phone number each time you choose to opt in.
