Create notices and reminders.
What are notices?
Notices are great reminders. A notice can be displayed once or regularly (for example on a daily basis). When a user visits the dashboard and a new notice is available, it will be displayed as a pop-up window.
Notices can display pure text or remind users to subscribe to news or fill out their profiles!
Create a notice
To create a notice, navigate to Confluence administration → Linchpin Suite → Pings Configuration.
Inside the text field, enter a name for your notice. This name won't be displayed for users.
Select the type of the notice: Subscriptions for News or Profile Assistant.
Click on the Create notice button.
Configure a notice
Within the notice configuration, enable the Active the notice slider button (green = active).
In the Display options section, enter the title and the text of your notice.
In the Content configuration section, select the profile fields which should be available to edit (Profile Assistant) or enter the spaces to which the user can subscribe for news (Subscription for News).
In the Schedule section, you can decide how often the notice should be displayed.
