Advanced Announcements
Overview
In the core Jadu Central system, announcements are applied site-wide without any targeting capabilities. The Advanced Announcements add-on gives web managers more control over where announcements appear and additional options for scheduling and labelling.
Features
- Category targeting: Site taxonomy categories can be assigned to announcements, limiting the display of an announcement to specific category pages.
- Content editing: Web managers have a complete document editor for crafting the announcement content.
- Severity labelling: Announcements can be labelled as "Informational", "Significant", or "Severe" to denote their importance.
- Scheduling: Announcements can be scheduled by setting a start date/time and end date/time for displaying the notice.
- Publishing control: A live/archived flag allows web managers to control when an announcement is actively published on the site.
Benefits
Advanced Announcements allow web teams to deliver targeted announcements to relevant site sections more precisely. This reduces noise for general visitors while ensuring important notices reach the applicable audiences. Improved announcement capabilities can reduce avoidable contact with customer support teams by proactively surfacing key information.
