How Do I Configure Announcements?
The system includes an Announcements feature that allows administrators to share important information with users and broadcast key updates and reminders.
Announcements can be used to:
- Notify users of new policies or procedures
- Share safety alerts or incident learnings
- Communicate upcoming audits, inspections, or training
- Provide general company-wide or project-specific updates
Announcements are visible on users’ dashboards, ensuring critical information reaches the right people promptly. Before adding an announcement, you must first configure notifications in the system if you want users to receive alerts about the announcement.
This article includes step-by-step instructions on how to configure announcements.
- On the left side menu, go to Settings and click Announcements.
- Click +New Announcement.
