Sending messages to logged in users

You can send messages to users who are currently logged in to the project. For example, you may want to send a message to warn users to log out before you perform project maintenance so they can save their work. Messages are displayed to users in Helix ALM. They will also receive a browser notification if they are enabled for Helix ALM.
