As a Project Leader, you can post announcements that appear in Project Overview and the My Announcements and Community Announcements portlets. Project Members and Project Guests cannot respond to announcements; announcements are simply a way to convey important news to all project users.
To create an announcement:
In the Announcement Body text box, type no more than 1,000 characters for the text of your announcement.
Under Announcement Type, indicate the nature of the announcement:
Action Required
Information
Warning
High Importance
Low Importance
No Image: Normal
