Company Announcements by Employee Group

As a union contractor working in multiple locals and with several branch offices, we regularly have company announcements that are specific to different groups - our union employees in Indiana or our non-union employees in Kentucky.  For this reason, I would like the ability to create company announcements that can be assigned to specific employee groups.  This functionality already exists for other documents in the Document Dashboard, so it seems like it would be pretty easy to extend it to announcements.

    Hi Vaughn,

    This functionality requires the portal setting "Enable Employee Group Restrictions for Company Announcements" be enabled.

    Thanks!

    I need help seeing how this was shipped.

    I see that the Library can be limited by group. But Announcements post to All Companies and all groups. There is not an option to limit by company or group that I can find on 2021 R1.10?

    I want company 1 to post it's holiday schedule and company 2 to post a different holiday schedule without both showing up for everyone. I can do that as a library document but not as an announcement on the home page.

    To be able to send an announcement or document to a employee group and or just an individual employee would be a great improvement.

    We have multiple companies set up that have nothing to do with one another, I would definitely like the ability to split announcements up by each company.
