Messages & Announcements
Internal team messaging with board announcements, categories, scheduling, and staff messaging
Danvas provides internal messaging for team communication, including company-wide announcements with categories and scheduling, plus targeted staff messages.
Board Announcements
The Board module provides company-wide announcements visible to all staff in a location. Announcements support categories, scheduling, inline editing, and read tracking.
Creating Announcements
Admins and managers can create announcements from the Board page:
- Navigate to Board
- Click "New Announcement"
- Select a category (General, Policy, Shift, Incident, Emergency)
- Add title and body content (max 4000 chars)
- Optionally target a specific location (default: all locations)
- Optionally add up to 4 media image URLs
- Optionally schedule for future publication (or publish immediately)
- Publish — announcement appears on the Board page (or at scheduled time)
Announcement Categories
Each announcement must have a category, which determines its visual badge color and notification priority:
| Category | Badge Color | Use Case | Notification Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| General | Primary blue | Routine updates, team news | Normal |
| Policy | Primary blue | Policy changes, procedures | Normal |
| Shift | Success green | Schedule changes, shift notes | Normal |
