Announcement Module Online Help

Create/Edit an Announcement Module:

1. Notice at the very top of the screen you have a “Dropdown” list of Module typesfor the tab. Select “ANNOUNCEMENT”
   
2. Next to the word “Pane:” select the appropriate pane of the tab where you would like the module to appear (you will be able to edit this later). Remember the Left Pane is restricted. Scroll to the bottom of the page and assign Authorized Roles desired to the list on the right side. 
3. Click “Add” at the top of the screen and to the right of the Dropdown menus.
   ***At this point the module is created. Below is how to edit a module. This is very important to keep your site up to date.***
4. To add an announcement, scroll over the pencil next to the module that you just added, and choose “Add New Announcement.” 
5. On the “Edit Announcement” screen you will type in the title, then you can add a description. 
6. If you wish, you can select an external link (URL), internal link (Tab), or File (this links to a file in your file manager). 
7. Select a date you wish the announcement to expire (expiration occurs at 12:01am on the selected date). 
8. To edit the Module Setting (like title, who can see it, who can edit it) scroll over the pencil and click on “Module Settings.” 
9. To move the module to a different pane scroll over the pencil and choose which pane to move it to by clicking on “Move To ____.” 
10. Click “Update” 
    *NOTE – Administrator Roles are those people with the ability to Edit information on the Tab. Authorized Roles are those people with the ability to View the tab.*
