Running your production

Noticeboard

Broadcast announcements to your whole company, with pins and urgent flags.

The Noticeboard is your production's announcement channel. Use it for anything the company needs to know, from "read-through moved to Thursday" to "costumes due next week".

You will find it under People & Comms in the menu on the left.

The noticeboard, with announcements filtered by audience and a pinned post at the top.
Filter by audience along the top. Pinned posts stay first.

Screenshots show the light theme. The app looks the same in dark.

How to post an announcement

  1. Open Noticeboard.
  2. Click Post Announcement.
  3. Type a Title and a Message.
  4. Choose the audience: the whole company, or a narrower group such as Cast or a single department.
  5. Tick Pin if it should stay at the top.
  6. Tick Urgent if it cannot wait.
  7. Post.
The Post Announcement dialog, with title, message, audience, pin and urgent controls.
Choose the audience before you post. Urgent also sends an email.

⚠ Urgent also emails the audience, for anybody who has opted into urgent notifications. Use it only for something that cannot wait until they next open Prompter.

Posts support Markdown, so you can add bold, links and lists. New productions start with a pinned welcome post for the production team. It says where to start, and your cast cannot see it.

Managers and HODs can post. Everybody else sees a read-only Noticeboard.

How to find an old post

Use the filters along the top of the board. All shows everything, Pinned shows just the pinned posts, and the rest narrow by audience. The number beside each tells you how many posts are in it.

Why use it rather than a group chat

The Noticeboard is tied to your production and your company list. Announcements reach the right people and you can find them later, such as the post that says when the get-in is.
