Announcements

Announcements are created by administrators and will display important information in the whole tenant, or for a certain business profile. The priority (status) of an announcement can be Normal or High. Announcements can be displayed at the top or in a block, which is what’s described here.

An announcement displayed in a block can look like this for the user:

  • Hide block when no data: As it says, select this to not show the block when there are no announcements to show for the logged in user.

  • Padding: Use this option to set some padding for the text within the block.

Colors should be set centrally for consistency, but if needed, the following custom colors can be set here:
