Digital Noticeboards
This feature enables authorised users to communicate with specific groups of people in a closed, one way environment.
Noticeboards can only be created Within the App and not through the web management portal.Using Digital Noticeboards
Setting up Noticeboards
STEP 1 Upon navigating to your main menu, and scroll down to the Noticeboards tile in the menu. Upon opening this, you'll see any previously created noticeboards, or ones you've joined.
STEP 2 The next thing to do is to click Create Noticeboard at the bottom of the screen. You'll then see a dialogue box asking for a name and description of the board.
Joining a Noticeboard
STEP 1 Once you've received a joining code in the form of a numerical code or QR code, you'll need to open the main menu of the App and scroll down to Noticeboards. Once you tap on that, you'll need to select Join a Noticeboard. Here you'll be asked to enter the joining code or scan the QR code.
If correct, you'll now be added to that Noticeboard and can view it whenever you open the Noticeboards tile in your App. You'll also receive Push Notifications whenever the creator makes a new post.
And it's as simple as that! If you're the Creator of the Noticeboard, you'll also be able to see who has viewed your 'notices'. This only applies to adult roles. If you have pupils as members of your board, you will not see viewership of your notices.
Remember, noticeboards can be used to share not only text, but documents and images as well. You could send updates of pictures of lost property items, timetables or Safeguarding PDFs, or simple text messages to enable your board members to see information they need quickly and clearly. You can even share Travel Tracker links on them.
What is Travel Tracker? Click here for more information 🚗If you want to enter something other than text, when you input your message tap the paperclip to the bottom left-hand side of the message box. This will show an option for you to choose a file to upload to your Noticeboard. If you need a Travel Tracker link, or other link, to be shared, simply copy the link and press and hold in the text box of the Noticeboard for the Paste option, just like anywhere else on your device.
Note: You only have a max of 5MB files size, and can use PDFs, video files and image files.
