The Noticeboard function is managed in the user interface in Edulink One. The Noticeboard tab must be configured first before the Noticeboard Manager can create and manage documents and snippets.
Log in to Edulink One and locate the Noticeboard icon to begin.

Click on Noticeboard to open the noticeboard window.
The noticeboard home is the first tab at the top of the noticeboard window. This is where all of the notices and snippets are located. Also, the noticeboard home is what the majority of users will see, including employees, parents and learners.
Documents and information included in the noticeboard will vary depending on the intended recipient. For example, Year 9 Options Evening Presentation would not be relevant to Years 7, 10 and 11, therefore you can select the appropriate group(s) for your notice.

To open a notice, double click on the file to download it.
At the top of the noticeboard, there are rolling snippets of notices which are managed in the Manage Snippets tab.

Manage Snippets
To manage snippets, select the Manage Snippets tab at the top of the noticeboard window.
