Once the information has been entered, click Next
Audience
Here you can decide who gets sent the Policy/Procedure by either user types or user groups. For example, if the Policy/Procedure only affects a certain level or area of the building, you can choose to only send it to those residents.
Once the target audience has been selected, click Next
Visibility
At this stage, you can also choose to display the Policy/Procedure on your Digital Noticeboards, and if the Policy/Procedure is important, you can choose to have it permanently displayed for 5 days.
Once the visibility has been determined, click Next
Notifications
Select the date you want your Policy/Procedure to appear and disappear. You also need to select the time of day you want your users to receive the Policy/Procedure .
Notification Type can be chosen if you want users to receive the Policy/Procedure by other means, such as SMS, Push Notification and email. By default, your Policy/Procedure will just be displayed on the resident application if no notification is selected.
Further to this, you may choose to include an additional notification either before or during the Policy/Procedure is released.
