Managing & Viewing Announcements

This article covers the Announcements list: finding announcements, viewing their details, and archiving them.

The Announcements list

Go to Learning → Announcements. The list shows:

Announcements page with list of entries and filter options.

Sr.: the row number.
Date and Time: when the announcement was created (sortable).
Name: the title, with an ARCHIVED tag if it has been archived.
Urgency: NA, LOW, MID, or HIGH.
Tags: the custom field values applied to it.
Actions: available only for active announcements.

Finding announcements

Search by name using the search box.
Filter by Date (a date range), Urgency, and Tags (grouped by your custom fields and their values).

There is no CSV export for announcements.

Viewing an announcement

Click a row to open the details drawer. It shows:

A subtitle noting how many learners it was sent to and when (for example, "Sent to 320 learners on ...").
The urgency and, if archived, an ARCHIVED tag.
The image (if any).
Description: the full message.
Target Audience: either the list of selected courses (with per-course batch counts) or All Learners.
Tags: the custom field values, if any.
For archived announcements, who archived it.

From the drawer you can Close, or, for an active announcement, Edit or Archive (subject to permissions).

Analytics are limited. You can see the total number of learners the announcement was sent to, but there are no read receipts, open counts, or per-learner delivery lists.

Editing

Open an active announcement and choose Edit. Remember that the audience and visibility are locked; you can change the title, message, image, urgency, and tags. See Creating an Announcement for details on edit behavior.

New Announcement form with fields for name, description, image upload, and visibility settings.

Archiving

Archiving removes an announcement from learners' dashboards.

From the list Actions menu or the view drawer, choose Archive (labelled Delete in the list actions menu, which performs the same archive).
Confirm in the Archive Announcement dialog.

Archiving is permanent. The dialog states the announcement will be archived and removed from the learners' dashboard, and that learners will not be notified. There is no unarchive; to restore a message, create a new announcement.

Permissions

View: read access.
Edit: write access.
Archive: delete access.

Admins have full access, and buttons hide when you lack the relevant permission. Note that archived announcements offer no actions.

You're done

That completes the Announcements collection. You can now compose and send announcements, target the right learners, tag them, and manage them in your list.
