Announcements

Read announcements

You see the announcements sent to your role, and you get a notice in the app when a new one is published for you.

1. Open Announcements from the menu.
2. Type in Search to find an announcement by its title, words or event. Narrow the list with About (an event, or anything) and Date posted; Board can also pick who it was Sent to and untick Show archived. The count above the list says how many match; Clear filters starts over. Change Sort by to see the oldest first or sort by title.
3. Press an announcement’s title to read all of it.
4. Press a file to download it, or press the Open link with an event’s name to see that event.

Publish an announcement

Everyone in the checked groups, and Board, gets a notice in the app when you publish. Files can be up to 10 MB each.

A web address in the Message, one starting with https:// or www., becomes a link people can press.

1. Press Add an announcement.
2. Type a Title and the Message.
3. To show an Instagram post or reel under the message, paste its link in Instagram post.
4. Under Who else can see this, uncheck any group that should not get it. Board always sees every announcement.
5. Under Calendar events, check the events it is about.
6. Drop files on the box under Files, or press the box and pick them.
7. Press Publish.

Link an announcement to events

The list shows events from the day before onward. Members see a link to each linked event they are allowed to see. Cancelled events are not shown.

1. Under Calendar events, type a name or date in Find an event to narrow the list.
2. Check each event the announcement is about. You can choose up to 20.
3. For a repeating event, press its name to see its dates, then check All dates or single dates.
4. On an announcement already published, press the linked events under the message to change them. Click outside the list to save.

Change an announcement

Changes do not send a new notice, not even to groups you add after publishing.
