Communicating with devices
You can send a message to any known user. Messages can be sent via text, email or push notifications. Only users having enrolled devices can receive push notifications.
You can have multiple message modes selected; if you do not want to have multiple message formats done, be sure to deselect the check box.
You can monitor the process of sending a message to a large number of device users from the Logs > Audit Logs page. For more information, see "Monitoring and verifying the sent messages" in Getting Started with Ivanti EPMM.
