CORUS Tips and Tricks are available here.
A direct message is one in which you, the CORUS user, select the individuals to whom your message is sent. Direct message contents are private to the members of the room.
A channel is a group of individuals and is managed by the CORUS system. Messages sent to channels are public to members of the channel room, meaning that new users to the channel will see it’s chat history. These are often used for departmental- or unit-based communications. Channel members change over time. If you’d like add or remove a user from a channel, send an email request to [email protected].
Channel and direct message notifications will flow to your current preferred PING device. This includes your pager, cell phone or PING Inbox.
Messages forwarded from a pager to a cell phone via text messages may be truncated from the pager vendor. To correct this, contact the Pager Office via email to [email protected].
- Yes. In-browser notifications are attempted first.
- Mobile notifications occur when any of the following statements are TRUE:

- When the CORUS recipient has unread messages waiting longer than 30 seconds.

- Unread CORUS messages will follow the same path that PING currently does, which is to your preferred PING device.
- All notification preferences are managed through myProfile.
- To prepare, we recommend you login to myJH and review your Preferred mobile settings within myProfile.

At this time, you’ll need an operator to send a message to you on behalf of a third party. To do so, call 410-502-2233 and let the operator know that you will accept PING and CORUS messages. After you’ve spoken with the operator, share 410-502-2233 with those outside of Hopkins and have the caller tell the operator that he or she would like to CORUS a message to you.
Please direct any questions or feedback to: [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you!
