System: Bulletins and Dashboards
CLASSIC USER INTERFACE FUNTIONALITY*
Bulletins appear on the ADAM Home page for specified user roles. Users with permissions to do so can create, edit, and delete bulletins for users at their level of access and lower (district, school). Use bulletins to communicate important information widely and easily. If you create a new user role, remember to edit the bulletin to add the new user role to the Audience section in Step 3 below, if applicable. There is a user permission available to allow top level users to access bulletins created at any organization.

- Audience: Select the user roles, such as Teacher or Student, that will be able to view the bulletin.
- Notify Audience by Email: Select the checkbox to notify the selected audience of the bulletin.
