The Today’s Notices view is the staff’s daily briefing — everything happening today, filtered to what’s relevant to the logged-in staff member, displayed in a single scrollable list.
Where to find it
Most staff find it via the Notices link on the staff dashboard, or via a prominent Today’s Notices link on the home page.
URL is typically /notices/ (just notices — not notices/manage which is the admin view).
What appears
The view shows every notice where:
- Today’s date falls inside the notice’s date range (start to end inclusive).
- The notice is targeted at a group the staff member belongs to (or no target group is set).
- The notice isn’t deleted.
Notices are ordered by:
- Priority — high-priority notices first (if your school uses priority).
- Recency — most recently added at the top within the same priority.
- Title — alphabetical fallback.
Filtering and searching
The list supports:
- Search — text search across titles and bodies.
- Group filter — narrow by target group.
- Date filter — view yesterday’s notices or tomorrow’s.
Use these when the list is long. Most days the unfiltered today’s view is enough.
Reading a notice
Click a notice to expand the full body. Attachments appear as links — click to download.
Marks-as-read is automatic — there’s no need to action a notice once you’ve seen it.
Adding from this view
If you have permission to create notices, an Add notice action is available from the today’s view. Useful for quick reminders — type the title, body, save, done.
Printing or sharing
For staff who want a printable version:
- Click the Print action on the today’s view.
- The list renders as a print-friendly page.
- Print or save as PDF.
Some schools have a screen in the staff room that displays today’s notices on a loop — same view, full-screen browser.
Notices not appearing
If a staff member says they’re missing a notice:
- Check the notice’s date range — is today inside it?
- Check the notice’s target groups — is the staff member in one of them?
- Check the staff member’s profile — are they an active staff member?
- Check whether they’re searching/filtering and missing it.
If all the above check out and the notice is still missing, talk to your portal admin — there may be a cache or permissions issue.
Tips
- Open the today’s view first thing. It’s the morning briefing for the whole staff.
- Encourage colleagues to do the same. A culture where everyone reads today’s notices means fewer missed announcements and fewer angry follow-up emails.
- Pin the URL. Browser bookmark or pinned tab — make it easy to get to.
