Unpublishing and Archiving

Further details on the unpublishing and archiving of Announcements is included here.

An announcement becomes published and therefore shown as a tile on the Workspace if:

1. The Published checkbox is checked.

2. The Effective Date has been reached.

3. The Expiry Date (if any) has not been reached.

4. The Archived checkbox is unchecked.

An announcement is unpublished by unchecking the Published checkbox. This can be done by manually editing, or the Auto Expiry options can be used to have it automatically unpublished when the Expiry Date is reached.

An announcement is archived by checking the Archived checkbox. This can be done by manually editing, or the Auto Expiry options can be used to have it automatically archived when the specified Expiry Date is reached.

Both published and unpublished announcements may be archived. A published archived announcement will not show as a tile in the Workspace dashboard, but will be included in the Announcements list view. An un-published archived announcement will only be visible to News Administrator users, within the Announcements list view.

Unpublishing, archiving, or deleting an announcement removes any associated Assignments.

The Auto Expiry processing is handled by a nightly batch job.
