- Under the location bar, you’ll also see a “refresh” icon on the left, which reloads data and content, and a comment bubble icon, which allows you to broadcast messages to other GideonSoft users in your organization. When you tap this icon:
- Select an Instance (if you’re a member of more than one).
- Select a Role to filter the list of recipients.
- Select one or more individuals.
- Type your message and tap “Post!”.
