Announcements

A message above every page, for the staff of every workspace you address it to.

Announcements: who each is for, whether it is showing, and how many people dismissed it.

Tenant admin → Announcements writes to the businesses on your platform all at once: planned maintenance, a new feature, a trial about to end. An announcement appears as a banner above every page for the staff of the workspaces it is addressed to. A workspace's own customers, in the client portal, never see it.

The list

Each announcement with the start of its message, and:

Column	Shows
Audience	Who it is for.
Showing	Live (on screen now), Scheduled (its start is ahead), Finished (its end has passed) or Off (switched off), with its dates when it has any.
Dismissed by	How many people have closed it.
Actions	Show it again (when somebody has dismissed it) and edit.

Writing one

A new announcement: what it says, how loudly, to whom and when.

Press New announcement.

Field	What it does
Title	Required. The bold first line of the banner.
How loudly	Notice, Warning or Urgent. Only the colour and the icon change.
Message	Required, up to 2,000 characters. Plain text; line breaks are kept. It is written by one person and shown to everybody, so it takes no HTML.
Who sees it	Every workspace, or only workspaces on trial, active subscribers, workspaces that have lapsed (past due), or suspended workspaces.
Show from / Until	Optional, in your own time zone. Blank Show from starts it now; blank Until keeps it showing. Write Sunday's maintenance notice on Thursday and let it disappear on Monday.
Active	Off keeps it without showing it.
People can dismiss it	On by default. Turn it off only for something that must stay on screen, such as an outage in progress.

Press Publish.

A suspended workspace still sees the ones addressed to it. Those workspaces cannot open a single page of the application, so an announcement for them appears on the page they are shut behind. It is the only way a message about an unpaid invoice ever reaches the person who has to act on it.

Changing, repeating and deleting

Editing an announcement. Delete is at the bottom left.

Edit — click its title or , change it, Save changes.
Show it again — on the list. Dismissal is per person rather than per workspace: one colleague clearing a banner does not clear it for everybody at the same company. Show it again brings it back for everyone who waved it away — better than editing the text, which would only reach the people who had not read the first version.
Delete — on the edit page, then confirm. It disappears from every workspace immediately.

Addresses on this page
