Tip & Tricks: Announcements

This tips & tricks video is intended to help our admin members use the member announcements feature. Watch the video above or follow the steps outlined below to learn these key techniques.

Overview
The announcements feature allows you to share information to the home screens of your members (i.e. students, faculty, etc.) in ACEMAPP. Announcements can be used to share upcoming deadlines, parking instructions, orientation dates, and other important information.

Navigating to announcements
Click the "member announcements" button in the navigation bar. Depending on your screen size, you may have to click on the "more" drop-down first, then select "member announcements" from the drop-down.

Managing announcements
The announcement table shows your organization’s active announcements and allows you to edit any existing announcements.

Creating new announcements
To create a new announcement, click "+ add new entry." If you would like your announcement to start and end on a specific date, enter those dates in the "start date" and "end date" fields. Enter your announcement content in the "message" area. Click “save” when finished.

NOTE: The announcement will start immediately if you leave the "start date" field blank. The announcement will run indefinitely if you leave the "end date" blank.

Announcement tabs
You must add any new member type(s) or new program(s) you want the announcement to be visible for. It is not required, but you have the option to enter a "new school course(s)" (School User) or "new site unit" (Clinical User) to have announcements only visible to members assigned to a rotation with that course or unit. Once done, click the "Save" button.

Review announcements
You can review your announcement setup and body, or text, in the announcements table. Click the “+ more” button to view the entire body of the announcement, if needed.
