Announcements Video

Watch the video above for an overview of ClockIN announcements.  

The Announcements feature from ClockIN provides a powerful, flexible means of communication with all ClockIN members/employees or a targeted subset.   It is both powerful and flexible because you can choose:

• Where to send the message: SMS, Email, ClockIN Inbox, or all three. 
• How to send the message: Standard, Important, or Acknowledgement Required.
• When to send the message: Immediately or pick a Publish Date.
• Who to send the message to: All (Default Group) or Specific Group(s).
• What to include in the message: Rich Formatted Text and/or Attachments.

Learn how to create and send a new announcement, then see how it appears on the Home page of ClockIN, in your SMS and email. 

Start with creating a new announcement by navigating to Announcements via the “Create and View Announcement” checklist link or using the left-side menu option under Work Center and then Administration.  From the Announcements page:
