The Announcements Module in Daai Business Suite lets administrators and managers share quick, important messages with all users directly on their dashboard. Messages are short (up to 160 characters) and can be set to expire automatically, keeping the dashboard clean and relevant.
📌 Where it lives: Manual announcements are created and managed under HRM → Announce. The dashboard’s Announcements card is read-only and only displays the active feed.
✨ Key Features
- Share quick updates, reminders, and celebrations.
- Automatic messages for birthdays, work anniversaries, holidays, promotions, and more.
- Set expiry dates for each message.
- Automatic removal of messages after 15 days if not deleted earlier.
