How do I add a nested message to a message in the Impact Dashboard?
You can use the Impact Dashboard to add a nested message to a message to view in your Learning Management System.
Note: For more information on nested messages, visit What are nested messages?
Open Messages
In Global Navigation, click the Messages link.
Open New Message
Click the New Message button.
Create Message
Create the initial message that will display the desired nested message.
Note: Nested messages need to be Systray Messages or Pop-up Messages.
Highlight Text for Nested Message
Select the text you want to attach with the nested message.
Insert Nested Message
Click the Rich Edit Mode toggle [1] to enable the Rich Content Editor.
Click the Insert button [2] and then click the Insert Message button [3].
Select Nested Message
Select the message to link to the existing message [1]. Then click the Continue button [2].
Note: Nested Messages need to be created in the Impact Dashboard prior to the message it will be inserted in as this function only allows you to populate pre-existing messages.

Preview the Link Title and Message preview. Then click the Continue button.
Nested Message Linked
Your nested message is linked within the initial message.
Edit Message Settings
In the sidebar of the create message page, select your message settings.
Note(s):
- Nested messages do not require a context to be connected to them but they must be assigned to the same user group as the original message and published to function correctly.
- If the nested message has a context connected that does not match the page where the original message is placed, it will appear on the page where the original message is placed.
Publish Your Message
Click the Publish button.
