Step 1: Accessing Client Settings
If you are an editor, admin or owner in your Hub you will be able to hover over the administration panel and click on client settings.
Step 2: Accessing Announcements Tab
From here, click on the announcements tab.
Step 3: Creating a New Announcement
To create a new announcement, click on the "add" button.
Step 4: Setting Title and Optional Details
Title is what your announcement message will appear as on the homepage.
Both the button text and the link are optional if you want your announcement to lead somewhere else. You can paste the URL in the provided field.
For the button text, you can use a generic "Click here," but you can change this depending on what you want it to appear as.
Step 5: Setting Start Date
Start date is when you'd want your announcement to appear. Set the date here, even if it's a future date, so you don't have to remember to launch it.
Step 6: Setting End Date
The end date is when the announcement stops appearing. Set this date to control how long the announcement is displayed.
Step 7: Limiting Access
You can also have the option to limit who sees your announcement based on access level and group.
Step 8: Saving the Announcement
Click "Save," and if you go to the home page, this is what your announcement bar will look like.
Step 9: Managing Multiple Announcements
Please note that if you have multiple active announcements, they will appear in order until it loops back to the first message.
Editing Existing Announcements
To edit any existing announcements, simply go to the same menu option, which is administration, client settings, and announcements.
Click on any announcement you'd like to edit and click on the "edit" button.
From here, you can change the properties of your announcement or even delete it if it's no longer needed.
