About - Announcements

Announcements can be distributed a number of ways. Agency-wide announcements appear across your site, on all pages with an Announcements Web part. The Programs, Residences, and Individuals Details pages may contain agency-wide, audience- specific, or page-specific announcements, which appear only on the Details page for a one Individual, program, or residence.
