How do I create, edit, or delete announcements in Fusion Applications?

You can create, edit, view, or delete company announcements using the Announcements page or the Announcements REST resource. Users must have the Manage Help Content (ATK_CUSTOMIZE_HELP_TOPICS_PRIV) privilege to create or edit announcements on their own. In News feed, announcements are displayed in the Analytics section of the home page. In Home with Ask Oracle, they're displayed in Notifications.

Note: In Home with Ask Oracle, after an announcement is sent, you can't edit its details. You can only delete it.

On the Announcements page, click Create, provide the details for the announcement, and save it. Here are a few things to know:

  • If you select User-Defined as the category, provide more details like a summary of the announcement.

  • When you upload an image, make sure your image width is 950 to 975 px and height is 650 to 765 px to avoid image distortion.

  • If you select EL Expression from the Visible list, the evaluation of the EL expression decides whether the announcement will be visible for specific user roles. Click Edit iconnext to the list and enter an expression without line breaks or double quotes. Validate the EL expression and make sure it evaluates to true or false.

Announcements don't require sandboxes, so your changes apply immediately to all users, even if you do them from within a sandbox that's active and not yet published.
