# Community Announcements

> Announcements from your space displayed on the member dashboard.

Community announcements let operators share news, updates, and promotions directly on the member dashboard. Each announcement appears as a card banner at the top of the personal dashboard.

## What members see

Each announcement is displayed as a card with the following elements:

| Element       | Description                                                    |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Title**     | The announcement name                                          |
| **Body**      | A preview of the announcement text, truncated to two lines     |
| **Image**     | Optional image displayed on the right side of the card         |
| **View more** | Button to open the full announcement in a modal                |
| **Dismiss**   | Button to permanently hide the announcement from the dashboard |

When multiple announcements are active, they are displayed as separate cards stacked on the dashboard.

### Full announcement view

Clicking **View more** opens a modal with:

* The full announcement image

## Dismissing announcements

Members can click **Dismiss** to permanently hide an announcement from their dashboard. Dismissed announcements do not reappear unless the member clears their browser data.

## Audience targeting

Operators can target announcements to specific audience segments:

| Audience          | Who sees it                          |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| **All customers** | Both members and contacts            |
| **Members only**  | Customers with an active contract    |
| **Contacts only** | Customers without an active contract |

## Scheduling

Announcements support scheduled publishing. Operators can set a **Publish from** and **Publish until** date so announcements appear and disappear automatically.

## Configurable sections

| Setting            | Default | Effect                                            |
| ------------------ | ------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| Show announcements | On      | Display the announcements banner on the dashboard |
