Overview

By default, only District Admins have access for posting Emergency or Alert news messages on school websites. However, they may assign other users the rights for the same.

The article shares the process for authorized users to publish emergency or alert news messages on the school website.

Process

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Add News button on your portal's homepage (If you do not see this button, then it is likely that you do not have the rights to publish alert messages). 
   
   
   
   
   • Alternatively, you may go to Groups > Emergency News Group and add news from there as described in subsequent steps. 
     
     
2. Click on the checkbox for Emergency News in the Audience column.
3. Fill out the rest of the fields.
4. Click Publish. 
   
   

Note: If the Emergency News option is not visible, then you do not have rights to publish emergency news. To get rights, you must be a member of the Emergency News Group.

Confirmation

The emergency or alert news module is displayed on the school's homepage, and users can click on the link to view the entire announcement. See the following alert message as an example:
