WorkPlace Announcements can be configured to present important company messages to the extended workforce.  WorkPlace provides options to display each announcement message system wide or based on user, roles, departments or companies setup within WorkPlace.  Activation and expiration dates can be optionally defined by announcement to control when the messages are displayed to the users.  Announcement messages can be configured to display on the WorkPlace Home/Default Dashboard or require user confirmations at the time of login which are tracked in the database for validation purposes. Full support for HTML formatting within each message provides enhanced display options for all your notification needs.
