Text Message Alert System for Woodhouse Employees

Woodhouse uses Staff Tools - Staff Directory for mass text alerts.  This is used for notices to employees about IT outages, Weather related events, or Emergencies.  To make sure you receive text alerts you will need to edit your Staff Directory profile to include your cell phone number.  There is a check box if you would like your cell number to be displayed or to be hidden in Staff Directory.
  1. Go to Staff Tools - Staff Directory and login.
  2. Once logged in, click the dropdown menu by your name in the top left corner and click "Edit Profile".
  3. Find the "Mobile number" field and enter your cell phone number.

  4. If you wish to display your cell number to other Woodhouse employees, check the box "Display mobile".  If you do not want your cell number visible, un-check this box.
  5. Scroll down and click "Save".

  6. Text message will be limited to urgent notifications when email may not be efficient. 
  7. Only authorized employees can send text messages.
  8. Text messages can be sent to all employees at once or just a limited group by location, department, or job title.
