How to select a Vircarda Message Audience

Once a Vircarda message has been composed, an audience can be selected.  Users can send messages using any one of four possible selection criteria, depending on their user role.  The audience only includes cardholders that the user has visibility of via either an employment relationship (for Premium Functionality Employers), or where they are swiped into a site with the user's hierarchy or has a rail corridor access job role relationship (Network Managers) .  This can be further refined to only included cardholders with specific job roles, competencies or who recently swiped into specific sites.


Messaging can NOT be used to message individual cardholders or any other cohort of cardholders, except those listed below.


A Vircarda Message will only be sent to cardholders who hold a virtual RIW card in the Vircarda App.  Please refer to our RIW Knowledge Centre article What is the Virtual Card Uptake Report? for guidance on understanding virtual card uptake in your organisation.
