Adding announcements to the Home page

Announcements are a way in which administrators can inform users of various events such as company-related news, upgrades, or potential downtime.

About this task

To add announcements in TransPort, you need to select a workgroup that includes a user with TransPort permissions. Typically, you can select the Default workgroup, which, unless modified, includes TransPort users (client managers and client users).

TransPort users need to select the Announcements check box on the My Account tab to be able to view announcements on the Home page.

Procedure

  1. On the Home page of the Classic interface, select Post Announcement.
  2. On the Announcements page, do the following:
    1. In the Subject box, enter the subject of your announcement.
    2. In the Announcement box, enter the text of your announcement.
    3. Select whether you want your announcement to be in HTML or not.
    4. Under For WorldServer, select the locales and the workgroups to which this announcement applies.
      Any user who is part of either category can see the announcement.
    5. Under For TransPort, select the clients to which this announcement applies.
  3. Select Save.
