Description: In this topic you , the user will learn about news posts in DCI. News posts are a way to notify groups of system users of important announcements. Examples of news posts would include notifying employees that a mobile app update is required or notifying clients that the office is closed due to a holiday. News posts appear on the dashboard of all profiles and/or can also appear on a splash screen during logon, meaning the employee must acknowledge it. Multi-language functionality is available for news posts for employee profiles (without any added roles or permissions, also known as base users) and client profiles. New and active news posts will need to be created or edited with preferred languages used within your organization to be displayed via the splash screen or dashboard. Users with a preferred language selected for their profile will only be able to view receive the news post on the splash screen and dashboard if it is created sent in their preferred language, i.e., if the user's preferred language is Spanish, the news posts will need to be created or edited (active news posts) in the Spanish subject and message for the user to view the splash screen or dashboard.
*Please note: Preferred language is an instance-level setting, please . Please contact your DCI representative for assistance.
