Publisher Home Page
You will see your drafts, all rejected messages, all messages with change requested (if any), all pending approval messages, and all sent messages here.
By default, you are seeing messages from the last 7 days. However, you have the ability to select any custom time period i.e.; Today, Yesterday, This Week, Last Week, This Month, Last Month, This Quarter, This Year, Last Year, or custom start and end date. You can also filter the messages by type of messages i.e.; Important Messages, Emergency Messages, or General Messages.
You can search for any keyword in any message. It will search within all messages (including subject) regardless of the filters selected. However, you can filter the search results by selecting unique filters.
On the right side of your home page, you have a few widgets which you can use as a shortcut to filter messages. You can add/remove or sort these widgets as you desire. (These widgets are pre-defined for the existing system.)
