A box should appear with a table of participants in the conversation. For message participants who should remain anonymous to the user (e.g. moderators/administrators) a role may appear instead of the name of the individual.
You can turn on/off your own notifications for this individual message by checking or unchecking the checkbox in the notifications column under your name.
You can add other ARIA users to the conversation by typing their name in the text box below the table and clicking "Add User". Please note that some users may not have the permission to add users to existing conversations.
You can delete participants from the list if you are an admin for the message by clicking the cross sign at the end right side of the participant name as shown below.
To Enure ARIA Messages are Received by Email
In your ARIA profile, scroll to the bottom of the page. There will be two dropdown menus under the heading "ARIA Settings": Messaging Email Preferences, and Booking Email Preferences.
If you would prefer to receive ARIA messages in your email inbox as well as on ARIA, leave this as the default, "ON". To only receive ARIA messages in ARIA, change this to "OFF"
