Voxology: Messenger Digital Repository/Sent Message Log 2.0 User Guide

This guide will outline how to use Sent Message Log 2.0 and how to set up your district. Districts are required to enable CDR for Voice/Text in order to send messages containing .wav files. 

Emergency call flows have a dedicated Emergency Call Flow process, and should ONLY be used in a true emergency. 

  • General and Priority calls contact individuals with multiple devices (Cell phone, work phone, etc) in a designated order
    • Priority messages will be sent to Voxology with a higher priority than General messages (Same as the old engine)
  • Emergency Calls now use a special call flow, where we immediately contact all devices for that contact simultaneously. For example, if you have a cell and a work phone, BOTH will ring on the first call wave.

Enabling Messenger Tools: Digital Repository

As an administrator, you will need to enable the Voice/Text option in the Digital Repository Preferences in order to upload .wav files to a message.

If your district is not using the Campus Digital Repository (CDR) yet, you will first be asked to enable CDR for your district. If your district already uses CDR elsewhere, skip to step 6.

  1. In the left-hand panel, select System Settings.
  2. Under the Digital Repository section, select Digital Repository Preferences.
For questions about CDR, contact your account representative or visit the Frequently Asked Questions or Campus Community links.
  1. Click the Enable CDR button on the lower left of the screen.
  2. Select all three checkboxes and click View Terms.
  3. Once the checkboxes and terms have been selected, click the green I Accept button to proceed to the Digital Repository Preferences page. 
  4. Administrators will need to enable the Voice/Text option in the Digital Repository Preferences before .wav files can be uploaded to messages. Scroll down the page to the Campus Communicator section, and click the checkbox labeled Voice/Text.
  5. After checking the box, click Save

Messenger 2.0: New and Scheduled Message CDR User Acceptance

Messenger 2.0 users will be asked to accept the CDR terms and conditions when uploading a .wav file to a new message. This is a one-time action unless the terms change. If a user has scheduled messages containing .wav files and hasn't accepted the terms and conditions, they will be prompted to do so when editing the scheduled message. However, existing messages will not be stopped.

  1. On Step 2 of message creation, click either the Upload or Record WAV button.
  2. A modal window will pop up, requiring the user to accept the terms and conditions.
  3. The user must open both the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy links.
  4. Once the terms are reviewed, click Accept to proceed with the upload process.
