Creating a notice
- Display the Notices page.
- Click or tap the New Notice button.
- On the New Notice page, complete the elements of the new notice:
- Notice Type
From the list, select the type of notice you want to create.
- Name
You can leave the default name as it is or change it. This name is displayed in the list of existing notices on the Notices page and in selection lists on other pages.
Tip: If you intend to create multiple notices of the same type, you should give each notice of that type a unique name so you will be able to easily identify specific notices in the selection lists. - Subject
You can leave the default subject as it is or change it.
- Active Message
Select this checkbox if you want to make this notice the Active Message for this notice type—that is, the message that is sent automatically at the time its corresponding event occurs.
Note: For most notices, only one notice of each type can be the Active Message at any given time.
Exceptions:
- Group Guidelines—This notice type does not have an Active Message checkbox.
- Message to Member—This notice type does not have an Active Message checkbox.
- Monthly Reminder—You can have multiple Monthly Reminder notices set to Active Message. All of them will be sent automatically.
- Welcome—You can have multiple Welcome notices set to Active Message. All of them will be sent automatically.
- Body of the notice
In the text formatting box, enter and format the body of the notice.
Note: For some notices, the system provides default text for the message body. This text appears automatically when you select those notice types. You can edit the default text as desired.
In the text editor, in a desktop browser, you can display another toolbar with additional editing options by clicking the More options icon (...) at the far left on the toolbar. In the mobile app or a mobile browser, all of the editing options are on the toolbar, and you can touch and scroll the toolbar to display them.
