This guide shows you how to effectively manage your announcements over time within the Userorbit Admin Panel.
Before You Begin
- Access to the Userorbit Admin Panel.
- Permissions to manage announcements.
- Existing announcements in your feed.
Steps
- Pin an important announcement – Navigate to the Announcements section, select the announcement you wish to highlight, and choose the 'Pin to Top' option to ensure it remains visible at the top of your users' feeds.
- Archive an old announcement – From the Announcements list, select an announcement that is no longer current and choose 'Archive'. This removes it from the active feed but keeps it accessible for future reference.
- Organize announcements into collections/categories – Create new collections or categories (e.g., 'Product Updates', 'Company News') and assign announcements to them. This helps in grouping related content for better organization and user navigation.
- Reorder announcements within a collection – Within a specific collection, use the drag-and-drop functionality or reordering options to change the display order of announcements, prioritizing key messages.
- Search and filter announcements – Utilize the search bar and filtering options (by status, collection, date, etc.) in the Admin Panel's Announcements section to quickly locate specific announcements.
- Restore an archived announcement – Access the 'Archived' view within the Announcements section, select the announcement you wish to reactivate, and choose the 'Restore' option to make it visible in the active feed again.
Verify It Worked
After performing any of the management actions, navigate to the relevant section (e.g., active feed, archived list, specific collection) and confirm that the announcement's status, position, or categorization has been updated as expected. For pinned announcements, check that they appear at the top of the feed.
