# Messaging

As the administrator, you can send messages to JMap users from JMap Admin. 

{% hint style="info" %}
The messages will be displayed in the user interface (JMap Pro applications only). 
{% endhint %}

Users who already have an active session will see the messages immediately. The other users will see the message the next time they log on. 

Messages can be used to inform users of service interruptions, for example. 

Messages will be displayed each time a user starts a new session, during the validity period of the message.

## Sending messages

To create a new message to be sent to all users, press **Create** from the **Messaging** section in **Tools**.

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="175.5"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>New message to users</strong></td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>Subject</td><td>A short text describing the subject of the message.</td></tr><tr><td>Message</td><td>The message itself. Formatting is done using HTML tags. For example, line breaks are done using <code>&#x3C;BR></code> tags. The message can contain hyperlinks.</td></tr><tr><td>Valid from</td><td>The date and time from which the message will start to be displayed.</td></tr><tr><td>Valid until</td><td>The end date and time from which the message will no longer be displayed. After this date and time, the message will disappear from the list.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Deleting messages

To delete a message before it expires, select it in the table and press **Delete**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs-jmapserver-lima.k2geospatial.com/e/administrator/jmap-server-administrator-manual/tools/messaging.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
