Despite the dashboard label "Portal news," this tool manages system announcements — platform-wide messages that can be scheduled, targeted by role, and optionally e-mailed out.
From the administration panel, click Platform > Portal news.
Each announcement has:
Title and rich-text content
Start and end dates — defaults to today through 7 days later; the announcement is only visible while the current date falls in this range
Language — a specific language, or all languages
Roles (audience) — including logged-out visitors, so you can target announcements at anonymous users, specific logged-in roles, or a mix of both
User group — optionally restrict the announcement to a specific user group
Career — if the Link global announcements with careers and promotions setting is enabled, you can also scope an announcement to a specific career/promotion path
Beyond just displaying the announcement, you can:
Send mail — E-mails the announcement out to everyone in its target audience
Send a test e-mail to myself — Preview what recipients will receive before committing
Add to calendar — Available when creating an announcement, links it into the calendar as well
Announcements are scoped per access URL — on a multi-URL (multi-portal) install, each portal manages its own news independently. The admin list shows an active/inactive indicator per announcement, computed from its date range, and you can edit or delete announcements individually or in bulk.
