Announcements
SupportCenter Plus allows you to publish announcements company-wide or just to the support reps group. The announcement widget is available under the My View tab in the home page. Any support rep can add, edit, and delete announcements.
The recent announcements will be displayed in the box. To view all the announcements, click the Show All button.
To view an announcement, click the Announcement Title to open the complete announcement details in a pop-up.
