If you do not see this option when you log in, email cloughran01@manhattan.edu for assistance.
Step 3: Headline

Type in the headline for your announcement into the Title field.
- Tip: The headline is the first thing people read. Make sure it is compelling and gives a succinct summary of your message.
Step 4: Start Date (When Your Announcement Will Be Published)

The default is the current date/time. Leave this as is unless you are submitting an announcement for a future date that shouldn't be published yet.
Note: The MC Announcements email digest goes out each day at 6 a.m. In order for your announcement to appear in the email, the Start Date/Time must be set for no later than 3 a.m. on the day you want it to appear.
Step 4a. Scheduling an announcement that is recurring

This needs to be done manually before each day that you want the announcement to appear. If the announcement was included in the MC Announcements morning email but you'd like to schedule for tomorrow, simply adjust the Start Date to the following day as is listed currently. Then, click Submit.
Note: **every time you change the start date, it's essential that you re-Submit the announcement.
Step 5: Audience & Categories

Select the audience who should receive your announcement, the associated offices or departments, and the category. You can select multiple options by holding the CTRL key (Command on Mac).
Step 7: Enter Announcement Text

Type in the text of your announcement. Use the toolbar to apply styling (e.g. bold, italic) if needed.
Step 8: Save & Preview

Click the Save & Preview button then review what your announcement will look like on the website.
Step 9: Submit

Click on the Submit button to submit your announcement for publishing. Note, you must click twice as indicated by the pink arrows above.
A spell check and broken link check will automatically run.
Publishing
Once your announcement is submitted, it will automatically publish and appear on the website within a few hours — there is always a short delay. You do not need to separately click the Publish button.
The Today at Manhattan email digest goes out each day at 6am. In order for your announcement to appear in the email, the Start Date must be set for no later than 3 a.m. on the day you want it to appear.
