Overview

Announcements appear on your learners' dashboards when they log in. By default an announcement is visible to everyone, but you can restrict it so only chosen teams see it — useful for updates that are only relevant to a particular department, location or cohort.

How to restrict an announcement to specific teams

1. Go to Settings → Features and scroll down to the Dashboard section.

2. Turn on Enable dashboard announcements if it isn't already.

3. Click Manage announcements, then click Create announcement (or open an existing one with the Edit pencil icon).

4. Fill in the announcement's details, then use the Restrict to Teams field to select the teams that should see it. Click Create (or Save).

Things to keep in mind

• Restrict to Teams is optional — leave it empty to show the announcement to everyone.
• You can select more than one team; the announcement then shows to members of any of the selected teams.
• A learner needs to be a member of a selected team to see the announcement, so make sure your teams are set up first.
• You can change the team restriction at any time by editing the announcement (see How to Edit an Announcement).
