Add an announcement

An announcement puts a message in front of everyone in one or more productions until the date you set. You'll need a role that lets you post announcements; the Contributor, Manager and Administrator roles do.

1. Go to Announcements and click Add Announcement.
2. Choose who sees it: pick one or more productions. Administrators also get All Productions, which reaches everyone on the site, including productions you add later, for as long as the announcement is active.
3. Enter a Subject.
4. Write the Message. The text editor lets you add emphasis, lists and web links.
5. Set the Expiration Date and time.
6. Save it.

The announcement shows up in the Active list on the Announcements page. People get a notification in the VirtualCallboard app, and by text if they have TXT messaging turned on. Announcements don't send email.

Edit, delete or print

Click an announcement in the list, then use Edit, Delete or Printer Friendly below it. You can change your own announcements, and people with the "Add / Edit / Delete Anyone's Announcements" permission can change anyone's. Once the expiration date passes, it moves to the Expired tab.
