Announcements Node
In addition to the Site (or System) Administrator, a Company Administrator can create Announcements. Also, a Company Administrator can define whether a particular announcement should be displayed to:
- Users
- Bidders
- Users and bidders
Note: Announcements are displayed to all the users of the owner company and all partner users. Bidders are also able to view all announcements by the Owner Company, in the Bidder Portal.
To access the Announcements module:
- Go to the Company Workspace tab, and switch to Admin mode.
- In the left Navigator, select General Administration, and then select Announcements to open both the Announcements log and the Announcement properties page (the pane on the right).
The Announcements log (toolbar options) lets you:
- Create an announcement (+ Create).
- Delete or change the status of an existing announcement (Actions).
- Refresh the log items (Refresh).
- Print, or export, the contents of the log (Print).
- Find items on the log (Find on Page). If you decide to cancel the find for an entire row, you must select the Find on Page icon again.
The Announcements log contains the following columns:
- Title
- Status
- Last Modified By
- Last Modified Date
When the log is displayed, the default sort order is descending date of records (Last Modified Date).
When you select an announcement record, or you hover over an announcement record, a gear menu (
) will be displayed. The gear menu lets you delete the selected announcement or change the announcement status.
The Announcement properties page (the right pane) also lets you see, or change, the details of an existing announcement. You must first select an announcement on the Announcements log. The Announcement properties page (the right pane) also lets you:
