Announcements
Company-wide notices — how to post announcements, target an audience, and what members see.
AdminHRManagerEmployeeLive
Announcements are company-wide notices. Everyone sees the feed; owners, administrators and HR admins can post and manage them.
For everyone — the feed
Open App → Announcements (in the Operate section of the sidebar). The feed shows published notices, pinned items first, with unread notices highlighted. Opening a notice marks it read.
For admins — posting
Who can post
Creating, editing, publishing and archiving announcements is limited to Tenant Owner, Tenant Admin and HR Admin. Everyone else has a read-only feed. The server enforces this regardless of the UI.
Click New announcement, enter a title and message.
Choose the audience: everyone, a single department, or a single access role.
Optionally pin it (keeps it at the top) and choose Publish now or save as a draft.
Manage existing notices from the Manage tab — publish/unpublish, archive.
Audience targeting
| Audience | Who sees it |
|---|---|
| Everyone | All members of the organization. |
| Department | Members whose employee record is in that department. |
| Role | Members holding that access role (e.g. Manager, Employee). |
Audience matching is resolved on the server from the viewer's own role and department — it is never trusted from the browser.
Status meanings
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | Saved but not visible in anyone's feed. |
| Published | Live in the feed for the matching audience. |
| Archived | Removed from the feed; kept for the record. |
Notes
- An optional expiry date hides an announcement from the feed after it passes.
- Read state is per-person, so unread counts are accurate for each member.
- Surveys (the other half of v1 Communications) are a planned follow-on.
