# Ecosystem Announcements

The Ecosystem Announcements module allows administrators to create, design, and deploy targeted pop-up announcements to specific partner organizations (nodes) within the ecosystem. This feature is ideal for communicating important updates, promotions, or calls-to-action in a highly visible format.

To access this feature, an administrator must be logged into the TIDWIT platform.

**New Announcement Button**: Opens the editor to create a new announcement.

**Announcements List**: Displays all existing announcements with the following columns:

**Name**: The internal name of the announcement.

**Status**: The current state (e.g., Draft, Scheduled, Published).

**Start Date**: The date and time the announcement becomes visible.

**End Date**: The date and time the announcement ceases to be visible.

**Views**: A count of how many times the announcement has been viewed.

**Clicks**: A count of how many times the call-to-action button within the announcement has been clicked.

### **Creating a New Announcement**

The creation process is divided into two main stages: configuring the details and designing the content.

#### **Step 1: Configure Announcement Details**

This section defines the core parameters of the announcement.

1. From the dashboard, click the **+ New Announcement** button.
2. You will be taken to the "New Announcement" screen, with the **Details** tab selected by default.
3. Fill in the following required fields:
   - **Name:** Enter a clear, descriptive name for internal reference.
   - **Launch Date:** Set the exact date and time for the announcement to go live.
   - **End Date:** Set the date and time for the announcement to be automatically removed.
   - **Target Nodes:** Select one or more partner nodes from the dropdown menu that should receive this announcement.

#### **Step 2: Design the Announcement (Builder)**

1. Click the **Builder** tab to open the design interface. The interface consists of a central canvas and a right-hand panel with **Blocks** and **Properties**.
2. From the **Blocks** tab, drag the desired layout and drop it onto the main canvas.
3. Click on the newly added block within the canvas to select it. The right-hand panel will automatically switch to the **Properties** tab, allowing you to customize the content.
4. Configure the available properties as needed:
   - **Content:** Set the Title, Subtitle, and Text.
   - **Appearance:** Customize the Background Color, Title Color, Subtitle Color, and Text Color.
   - **Layout:** Adjust the Image versus HTML Block Ratio slider to change the space allocation between the image and text.
   - **Action Button:** Check this box to enable a call-to-action button. Configure its Button Text, Button Text Color, Button Background Color, and the destination Button URL.
   - **Image:** Click "Select file” to upload an image from your computer. For best results, use an image with dimensions of 780x520 pixels.

#### **Step 3: Save and Publish**

Once the design is complete, you can save your progress or publish the announcement.

1. **Save:** Click this to save the announcement as a draft. You can return to edit it later. The status will be marked as DRAFT.
2. **Publish:** Click this to finalize and schedule the announcement. Once clicked, the status will change to SCHEDULED FOR PUBLISHING.

- **Editing:** To modify an existing announcement, click the three-dot menu icon on the far right of the announcement's row and select **Edit**.
