Shift billboard notifications

Workmail messages are sent to users to notify them of the results of billboard requests they have made and when there are updates to the status of a request. Messages are sent to users that post shifts and to users that attempt to claim shifts. Workmail messages are also sent to users that are required to provide an approval decision for a billboard request. These messages display the same information to users in mobility, ETM, and the desktop application.
Note: Shift Billboard notifications are controlled by the workflow configuration, which determines the messages to send at each stage of the workflow process for a particular billboard request.
