In Campus.2507, the Schedule Messenger and Special Ed Process Alert tools will begin to use the Staff contact preference on the Demographics page instead of General and Teacher, respectively. When the message preview is generated, the Schedule Message tool only includes emails in the recipient list that are checked with the Staff contact preference. When a Special Ed Alert email is generated, the staff members eligible to receive a message will only be contacted at the email checked with the Staff contact preference.
The Staff contact checkbox is on the Census > People > Demographics page in the Personal Contact Information card.
The Staff checkbox can be checked en masse using the Contact Preferences Batch Wizard under Communication > Messenger Administration > Contact Preferences Batch Wizard, using a staff ad hoc filter.
Development teams will explore incorporating the Staff checkbox into Messenger 2.0 in future development.
