Announcements

Announcements are messages your district posts for staff. They appear on everyone's home dashboard, targeted so people see only what's relevant to them.

Who this is for: everyone sees announcements; admins and champions post them.

Where you see them

Announcements show in the Announcements tab on your home dashboard as cards - a title, a short message, an optional longer write-up behind Show Details, any attachments to download, and who posted it and when.

An announcement on the home dashboard's Announcements tab.

Who sees an announcement

Because announcements are targeted, an announcement appears for you when all of these hold:

  • You hold an assignment at one of its target sites - or it targets no sites (everyone).
  • You hold one of its target roles - or it targets no roles (everyone).
  • Today is within its Start On / End On window (leave End On blank for an open-ended notice).

Posting an announcement Admin / champion

People with permission create announcements from Work Items → Announcements.
