Our communications team have been busy developing the much requested ability to bring direct messaging into Orah so you can have one place where messaging, organising communications and ensuring your school has oversight, all in one place.
This compliments Communications Broadcasts, but to ensure it is easy to use for all staff, “Conversations” can be accessed right from the Homeboard.
Here's how it works
See how easy it is to use–it's just as easy to set up.
This is just the first release - coming very shortly are Communications Monitor and Group Conversations, the other key parts of bringing Conversations into Orah.
Schools with access to Conversations will see a new option in User Roles and Permissions that gives staff access:
