The Announcement module can be used to convey important information to all the employees in your organization, and helps the organization to stay up-to-date with the latest and most crucial information. It allows the administrator to create customized announcements, using the HTML formatting control panel and specifying the expiration details to close the announcement. To avoid duplicate creation of the same announcements, the user can email notifications to all other users. Announcements that have closed can be archived or stored for future reference.
