Description: In this topic, the user will learn about news posts in DCI. News posts are a way to notify groups of system users of important announcements. Examples of news posts would include notifying employees that a mobile app update is required or notifying clients that the office is closed due to a holiday. News posts appear on the dashboard of all profiles and/or can also appear on a splash screen during logon, meaning the employee must acknowledge it. Multi-language functionality is available for news posts for employee profiles (without any added roles or permissions, also known as base users) and client profiles. Users with a preferred language selected will only receive the news post if it is sent in their preferred language.

*Please note: Preferred language is an instance-level setting. Please contact DCI for assistance.
