  2. Type the subject for the message in the Subject field.

  3. Type the contents of the message in the Message box.

  4. Type a date and time in the Post Date field to indicate when you want this message to be visible on the Bulletin Board. By default, the application displays the current date and time when you click New Message. You can modify this date and time.

  5. Type an expiration date and time for this message in the Expiration Date field. The expiration date indicates when the application removes the message from the Bulletin Board. The value entered in the Expiration Date field must be a future date and time.

  6. You can determine who can view this message. Your audience can belong to an organization, a site, a person group or a customer.
