Home

In the New View, Home is your dashboard and allows you an 'at-a-glance' view of your FrontlineSMS system and access to "Quick Send" functionality

What features are available on the Home screen?

Language support

At launch, FrontlineSMS comes with language support for English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Chinese, with other languages in the pipeline. You can change the on-screen language of your FrontlineSMS installation by clicking on the relevant country flag in Switch language [1], or via the Settings → Language menu. Languages such as Chinese will only display correctly if your computer supports the additional character sets required. Refer to your Windows user manual for details

Quick-send SMS

Messages can be quickly sent to individuals ("One-off messages") or Groups through the Send SMS portion of the screen [2]. Send SMS is the Home screen equivalent of the SendConsole in the FrontlineSMS "Classic View". Messages sent through Send SMS will be automatically sent via a Clickatell or IntelliSMS account, if you have one and you are connected to the internet (Clickatell or IntelliSMS sending is quicker and cheaper). If you do not have a Clickatell or IntelliSMS account, or your account fails for some reason, FrontlineSMS will use the first available phone from PhoneManager if you have any attached

Viewing FrontlineSMS activity

You can get an overview of what's happening in FrontlineSMS in the Latest Events window [3]. Events which appear in this window include lists of incoming and outgoing text messages, outgoing FrontlineSMS-triggered emails, failed messages and connected/disconnected phones. The events window can be cleared by clicking the Clear button [4]
