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 the Add / Edit / Delete My Own Announcements or Add / Edit / Delete Anyone's Announcements permission (see How user roles and permissions work).

1. Go to Announcements and click Add Announcement.
2. Under Production, choose who sees it. Choose Select Production and pick one or more productions. If you have the Allow user to view and modify: All Productions permission, you can choose All Productions instead, which reaches everyone on the site, including productions added 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. Click Add Announcement at the bottom of the window.

The announcement shows up in the Active list on the Announcements page. Everyone it's for is told by email, in the VirtualCallboard app and by text, following each person's own notification settings. All Productions reaches everyone on the site who isn't deactivated.

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.
