Click on Add message type to define a new type. For each message type, define where it's allowed to be used by checking the appropriate boxes. Your options here will vary depending on what features are enabled in VSys: kiosk, VSys Web, or VSys Live. Right-click on a type to edit or delete it.

Usage |
Under what conditions can this message type be used: Both logged-in and anonymous users, Only anonymous users or Only logged-in users. |
Phone number |
Should VSys Live ask for the sender's phone number? Ask for phone number but don't require it, Don't ask for phone number, or Require phone number. If a logged-in user is sending a message, this is ignored and VSys will not prompt for phone number regardless of the setting here. |
When received via VSys Live, forward messages to specific recipients |
Check this to have VSys Live immediately forward the message to one or more e-mail addresses. Note that using this can expose those e-mail addresses to the original sender if the forwarded e-mails bounce. |
On VSys Live, prompt for message type |
If checked, VSys Live will prompt the user for the actual type of message. Use this, for example, to have a single "Send a message" page that asks the person what the purpose of their message is. |

Required custom fields |
For custom fields checked above, selecting them here makes those fields required. |
Template/default message text |
