    1. Use the calendar to define how long the Announcement is visible for the recipients:
      1. Valid From: Select the day you wish the Announcement to be viewable to the recipients. This Announcement will be live and accessible to anyone checking-in from the selected date onward.
      2. Valid To: After the "Valid To" date, the Announcement will no longer be accessible to future check-ins. This is useful for communicating information applicable only to a certain time period, like delivering a Toolbox Talk to all relevant personnel involved in a weekend crane lift, for instance.
    2. Display Time: Select when recipients will see the announcement by choosing from:
      1. While Checked In: Recipients can view the announcement from their 1Breadcrumb profile after checking into the site.
      2. Check In Page: Recipients will be able to view the announcement as a part of completing the check-in process.
      3. Both: Recipients will be able to view the announcement as a part of completing the check-in process and will also be able to view the announcement from their 1Breadcrumb profile after checking into the site.
    3. Mode: Choose how recipients are alerted of the announcement. Note, this will only be applicable to those who have their 1Bredcrumb notifications turned on.
      1. Silent: No pop-up notification.
      2. Notify Always: Pop-up notification of the announcement is sent whenever recipients open their 1Breadcrumb app.
      3. Notify Once: A one-off 1Breadcrumb pop-up notification of the announcement is sent upon the first time the announcement goes live.
    4. Force View Mode: Determine whether recipients are required to view and/or acknowledge the announcement by selecting from the following options:
      1. Disable: Recipients can choose to open and view the announcement at their own discretion.
      2. Mandatory View: Recipients are obligated to open and view the announcement.
      3. Mandatory View and Sign Off: Recipients must open, view, and acknowledge the announcement.
      4. Set Play Through To Mandatory: When uploading video media, recipients are unable to fast forward or skip the video.
  6. Upon providing all the required details about your Announcement click the blue “Add To All” OR “Add site to Announcement” button (the button displayed will be dependant  on whether you have chosen to share this announcement with all active sites or specific ones).
