Management announcements

A management announcement is a message authored in the Management Area and delivered as a notification to administrators. It points administrators to newly published platform content.

Announcement types

Each announcement has a type, which determines the notification administrators receive:

• Release note. Announces newly published release notes, so administrators can read up on what’s new on ioki Platform.
• Knowledge base article. Announces a newly published ioki Academy course or knowledge base article.

Create an announcement

Permissions: manage_admin_announcements

Creating an announcement takes two steps:

1. Select New, choose the Announcement type—Release note or Knowledge base article—then select Next.
2. Complete the fields for the type you chose, then save.

For a Knowledge base article, provide:

• URL. The link the announcement points to.
• Link text. The text shown for the link.

For a Release note, there are no extra fields. The link and its text are set automatically, so you only save the announcement.

Saving the announcement delivers it as a notification to administrators.

If an announcement was published recently, a warning appears so you don’t create duplicates.
