I find the messaging area in workflow very useful but have not got into the habit of using it regularly. Would it be possible for the messaging screen to come up first when you log in rather than the customer screen - this would prompt any staff who log in to read their messages at some stage during their shift

Hey Nick,

Thank you for all the brilliant feedback.

We use messaging a little.

I would prefer a small single line under the user name in the right screen saying You have X new messages.

My reasoning is that some clinics wont use messaging at all (adding clicks to the log in process). Also if logging in was made a requirement of use (see my post about default clinician), it could be a pain to keep going into the messaging section each time.

I've got another idea about messaging which I will include in a nother topic.

Cheers,

Matt

Perhaps a better approach would be to display a mail icon when a message is received.

With tooltip for icon saying something like "6 new messages" ... or "unread" even better
