Message Board

The Message Board is the first thing your users will see when they log in to CLASS, and it is customisable. Different centres use this feature for different things, including reminders of events, links to the CLASS Online Guide, or just friendly greeting messages!

The Message board is divided in two halves. The left side is the “CLASS Message” which is any important updates from the CLASS Helpdesk. It is worth checking here for any issues, or scheduled updates. The right hand side is the Centre Message which is editable by your centres CLASS administrator for centre specific messaging.
