Broadcast messages

Create a system wide notice board viewed with My Synergy.  Messages can be sent to just one level of access or to all staff or from a particular level and up.

Messages can be set up in advance i.e. indicates when Christmas close down occurs, submit timesheets, prepare billing etc and then have an expiry set to automatically disappear from the My Synergy screen.
