FAQs
Why do I need a Broadcast Type before I can create a Broadcast?
This is to separate all of the Broadcasts into different categories. For example, the Broadcast Type of 'Company Updates' would be selected when adding any company information that you want your own company to see. This allows you to manage your system platform content effectively.
Do I have to create a full suite of Broadcast Types?
No, but you do need at least one Broadcast Type. If you prefer, you can create one Broadcast Type and place all Broadcasts under this one main type.
What kind of information can I put in a Broadcast?
You can enter anything from plain text for simple news, to images, links to websites, direct downloads, to documents, and even links to specific courses or dates from your systemplatform.
