Speaker Portal: Announcements

Speaker Portal: Announcements

Speaker Portal Announcements are a valuable tool for communicating announcements to your program participants.


Setup

Go to the Speaker Portal Settings, and click on Announcements.

Add/Edit Announcements
To add or edit an announcement, click Add Announcement, or select the edit button  beside an existing announcement.

Options

  1. Label: The attention grabbing label for the announcement.
  2. Content: The information to share. In some views, users will only see a portion of the content, so make sure the label is constructed well.
  3. Icon (optional): An icon beside the label.
  4. Publish Date: When should the announcement appear to users (and in which order should it appear). If empty, this announcement will not be published (it will be maintained as a draft).
  5. Expiration Date (optional): When should the announcement disappear from the front end. If empty, it will not disappear.
  6. High Priority (optional): Will pin this announcement to the top of the list. Note, in smaller views, only 3 announcements will appear. Adding more than three high priority announcements may not be very helpful.
