AdminSite Settings → Announcements

Announcements are messages that appear on the user home page. Use them for system-wide news, policy updates, downtime notices, or anything users should see on their next sign-in.

Open Settings → Site Settings → Announcements.

Announcements list. Each row summarises type, priority, status, and whether the announcement is pinned or dismissible.

The list view

Columns:

• Title — the announcement heading.
• Type — visual styling (Information, Warning, Success, etc.) that drives colour and icon.
• Priority — Normal, High, etc. Higher priority announcements appear first.
• Status — Active if currently visible to users.
• Pinned — pinned announcements stay at the top of the user's list.
• Dismissible — whether users can dismiss the announcement once they've read it.

Use Export announcements to download the list as CSV.

Create an announcement

Click New announcement in the top-right.

Create Announcement — content on the left, options on the right.

Announcement Content

• Title — required. Shown at the top of the announcement card.
• Content — required. Rich-text body. Supports headings, links, lists, tables, and embedded images.
• Type — Information, Warning, etc. Determines the colour and icon shown to users.
• Priority — Normal, High, etc. Higher priority announcements appear first in the user's list.

Display Options

• Active — only active announcements are visible.
• Dismissible — when on, users can dismiss the announcement and it won't reappear.
• Pinned — pinned announcements always sit at the top of the user's list, above non-pinned ones.

Schedule

• Start Date — leave empty to show the announcement immediately on save.
• End Date — leave empty for no expiration; otherwise the announcement is automatically hidden after this date.

Audience Targeting

Leave all fields empty to show the announcement to every user. Add targeting fields (e.g. specific roles, groups, or portals) to scope it to a subset.

Drafting before publishing

Save with Active off to draft an announcement without showing it. Toggle it on later — or set a future Start Date so it goes live automatically.

Pinned + Dismissible

A pinned announcement can also be dismissible — but once a user dismisses it, they won't see it again even though it's still pinned for others. For critical sticky messages, leave Dismissible off.
