How do Announcements work in Jimani?

Answer

With Announcements you prepare a message for your employees, with a start date, an end date and a type (Informative, Warning or Beware!). An announcement appears in the help centre on the chosen days, or only at the top of the reservation screen if you set Visible when booking to Yes.

Where to find it

Menu > Announcements, or Settings > Communication > Announcements (/settings/alerts)

Explanation

The Announcements page shows a list with Start date, End date, Name, Announcement, Cannot be deleted and Visible when booking. Click the plus button at the top right for the Add announcement window, or click a row to change it. You can turn the two checkmarks in the list on or off straight away. On Settings, the Announcements line only appears under the filter All, until you use it.
