Create a new announcement

To create a new announcement, you have to click on the "+" button on the right, above the announcements table. This redirects you to the "Add new announcement form".

When creating a new announcement, there are some specifics to keep in mind.

Author

Usually, the author of an announcement is someone form within the company (someone with an account in ERP). In these cases, that person can be selected from a list of all users under "Author" field. In the rare case, when the author of the announcement is not a company member, the field "Custom author" can be used to add the author's full name.

TIP: If both "Author" and "Custom author" fields are filled out, the custom author field takes precedence over the author field and author field will not be shown.

Visibility

Once a new announcement is finished, it will only appear, when the "Published" is switched to true. To show the announcement on the ERP's dashboard, the "Show in ERP" toggle must also be switched on.

When "Ignore on new category" toggle is switched on, the new announcement will not appear in the "NEW" category on ERP's dashboard. When "Exposed" toggle is switched on, a published announcement will appear centered, in the NEW category.

To notify users of a new announcement being published through the newsletter, the "Notify" toggle must be switched on.
