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

AudienceWho sees it
EveryoneAll members of the organization.
DepartmentMembers whose employee record is in that department.
RoleMembers 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

StatusMeaning
DraftSaved but not visible in anyone's feed.
PublishedLive in the feed for the matching audience.
ArchivedRemoved 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.
