User Announcements are an easy way to periodically communicate important information to your OneVue users. An active User Announcement appears on the Dashboard for all users. You can set the date an announcement starts and when it ends, customize the text displayed, and insert links and images.
Primex also leverages User Announcements to share important information regarding our OneVue platform and Primex devices. A common type of Primex announcement is a notification that an update to OneVue or Primex devices will be released on a specified date.
Managing User Announcements is limited to users assigned to the Account Admin or Network Admin role. All users have access to view active announcements from their Dashboard.
Go to Admin > User Announcements.

The list of User Announcements is displayed.

Once all settings are entered, select Save. The announcement has been saved and will be displayed on the Dashboard to all system users during the specified date range.
An existing announcement can be edited or deleted. If a user has closed the announcement from their Dashboard, an edited announcement does not reappear on their Dashboard.
Deleting an announcement permanently removes the announcement from your OneVue account.
