Mobile App: What Are Announcements?

Announcements are email-style communications from your company with important information about your Location or Department. Announcements are configured by a Super Admin or Admin user on the Web App (you can learn more in this article).

To access Announcements on the Mobile App:

1. Log in to your account. 
2. Click the Announcements tile on the Home Screen.
   
   
   
   

For new Announcements that are unread, you will see a blue banner if your Admin selects the Banner option from the Contact Method. The blue banner can also expire or be hidden even if an Announcement has not been read.

The banner will have a READ button that you can click to open the Announcement. 

To view Announcement Details:

1. Tap on the Announcements tile.
2. New Announcements will appear on the next screen.
   
   
   
   All Announcements will display as a list of cards with the following details:
   • Blue dot – indicates Announcement has not been opened (unread announcement)
   • Subject
   • Receive Time
   • User who sent Announcement
   • Message
   • View more link – this link will display more information on a separate page and will change the status of the Announcement to "Read." Clicking on the link will open a new page in your web browser.
     
     

When an announcement needs to be acknowledged, the ACKNOWLEDMENT REQUIRED tag will appear under the Announcements tile.




To acknowledge the Announcement, tap the blue ACKNOWLEDGE button. This will change the tag to ACKNOWLEDGED.
