Welcome to Message Bridge

Message Bridge was designed for use by the person keeping track of those 
individuals coming and going within various work groups.  One can quickly 
track personnel and manage the messages that need to be taken for them 
while they are away.  Tabs are used to select the desired work group 
providing the list of personnel, their status information and their 
attached notes. 

Message Bridge allows you to define your Departments and list the Members 
of each department.  Each member listed within a department has a Status 
field to indicate if they are "In" or "Out" (or any other user defined 
value).  A Comment field for each member is used to record freeform 
information as to that person's disposition.

Message Bridge also functions as a message manager.  You can record 
messages for each member of each department for easy retrieval.  Each 
message stored is given a Title and then you enter freeform information 
representing the actual message.  The list of message titles is 
displayed when you select a specific member.
