Send notices from a Dataview (Broadcast messaging)

Managers can create notices within the system that can be sent to a group of selected employees or to all active employees in the organization, providing a direct communication channel from managers to employees. Notices can be configured so that employees are required to acknowledge the notice (either by selecting OK or Yes/No, depending on the notice configuration).

Notices can be sent to employees via Control Center, E-mail, or Mobile App, but a notice that requires acknowledgment can only be acted on from the Control Center. For all notices, employees receive an alert notification on their homepage where they can open Control Center by selecting the Notifications icon.

  1. Configure a generic workflow notification type. The Custom Tags Notice Body and Notice Subject are available in the Notices group when configuring the workflow notification. How the notice is delivered (Control Center, E-mail, Mobile App) depends on the selected priority and the related Notification Profile.
  2. Create control center notification mapping. Select Platform for Domain, use Notices for Event Type and Notification, and select the Notices icon.
  3. Create the control center profile. Use the Notices category.
  4. Create and send notices via a Dataview. See Create and send a notice.
