Announcement blocks are placed using section taxonomy. You can have one top Announcement per Section Front Page. You can also set its start and end dates. Bottom Announcement blocks are also placed using section taxonomy. You can have multiple bottom Announcement per Section Front Page, though no more than 2-3 are recommended. Like Top Announcements, you can also set start and end dates. The announcement with the more recent start date will display first.

Instructions

  • Go to Content > Create Content > Announcements

  • Give the announcement a memorable Title

The Title will not display on top announcements, so it is a good practice to give it a memorable title that is relevant to the page where it will reside. The Title will display on bottom announcements.

  • Assign the Announcement to a Section

The Section is related to an already-established taxonomy term. Your announcement will only appear on the Section Front Page associated with that taxonomy term.

  • Provide the Body text of the announcement

  • Select the Display Date

The Display Date dictates when the announcement(s) will appear and disappear.

  • Choose the Location where you would like the announcement to appear

  • Click Save
