Notices & Announcements

Notices are official announcements from your association. They're designed for important, time-sensitive communications like maintenance alerts, rule changes, assessment notifications, and compliance reminders.

Creating a Notice

Navigate to Admin > Content > Notices and click Create Notice.

Notice Form Fields

• Title — Clear, descriptive headline (e.g., "Pool Closure for Maintenance — March 15-20")
• Content — Full details of the notice
• Type — The category of notice (see Notice Types below)
• Priority — Normal or Important (important notices get highlighted)
• Category — Organize into a notice category
• Visibility — Who can see this notice
• Effective Dates — Optional start and end dates for time-sensitive notices

Notice Types

Notices can be categorized by type to help residents quickly understand what the notice is about:

Type	Use Case
General	Routine community updates and reminders
Maintenance	Scheduled maintenance, repairs, service disruptions
Safety	Safety advisories, weather alerts, security notices
Financial	Assessment changes, payment reminders, budget updates
Rules	Rule changes, policy updates, compliance reminders
Meeting	Meeting announcements, agenda postings, date changes

Important Notices

Mark a notice as Important when it requires immediate attention. Important notices are visually distinguished from regular notices — they appear with a highlighted border and badge to draw residents' attention.

Use Important status for:

• Emergency maintenance or safety issues
• Deadline-sensitive information (assessment due dates, meeting RSVPs)
• Major policy changes

Attachments

Attach supporting files to your notices:

• Meeting agendas or minutes
• Official letters or forms
• Maps, diagrams, or schedules

Upload files directly when creating or editing the notice.

Effective Dates

Set effective dates to control when a notice is relevant:

• Start Date — When the notice becomes active
• End Date — When the notice expires

Notices with expired end dates can be automatically de-emphasized or archived, keeping your notice board current.

Managing Notices

Editing

Click any notice to edit its content, priority, or effective dates. Changes take effect immediately.

Archiving

Old notices should be archived to keep the notice board clean. Archived notices remain accessible but don't appear in the default view.

Best Practices

• Be specific in titles — "Water Shutoff: Building A, Tuesday 9 AM - 12 PM" is better than "Maintenance Notice"
• Include action items — Tell residents what they need to do, if anything
• Set effective dates — Time-bound notices should have end dates so they auto-expire
• Use the right type — Categorizing notices helps residents find relevant information
• Post promptly — For time-sensitive information, post as early as possible

Next Steps

• Posts & News — Share longer-form community updates
• Events — Create events for meetings and gatherings
• Visibility & Permissions — Control who sees your notices
