Where is the Announcement Panel Located?
The announcement Panel can be found on any Venus Control Suite app once you are logged in. You can find the panel, by locating the Announcement or megaphone icon toward the top right in between the user account, and My Apps icons.
What do Announcements Look Like?
Announcements will initially show up as a red notification badge on the Announcement Panel icon. If any unread announcements have been posted, you will see a red circle with the number of announcements needing attention. Once you click on the announcement panel icon a right slide-in menu will appear with all active announcements listed. All announcements that are blue are unread and contain useful information to read there. Dismissed announcements will change to a white color but will still be saved in your Announcement Panel for future reference.
How can Announcements Help?
With every banner comes a “Learn More” button. Click on the button to be directed to the article page that discusses the update in more detail. You will encounter helpful videos, blogs, knowledge base articles, and even quick tips on efficient workflow!
Once you understand the banner’s contents you can head back to your Venus Control Suite Announcement Panel to dismiss the banner. Dismissing only changes the Announcement Panel’s notification status. If you have 1 notification for Announcements and you dismiss it, you will remove the red circle with the number indicating you have announcements. However, if you have a number 5 in the red notification circle and dismiss only one you will keep the red circle and only change the number of notifications waiting to 4.
What if I Dismissed a Banner and Wanted to Go Back?
No Sweat! With the new Announcement Panel, you can now refer back to any active announcements! Simply click onto the Announcement Panel Icon and view any announcements in the list. We will continue to add to announcements as we have big things coming! As time goes by, old announcements will expire from the announcement panel list to ensure you receive the most relevant information. Check out the first announcement about our new Media Library changes coming soon!
