Public Announcement

You can make announcements available for unauthorized users on the Self-Service Portal. In this case, you share an announcement link with partners and clients who do not need to log into the system to read it. This feature is disabled by default, but you can enable it. 

To activate the feature, you should select the Public checkboxes in relevant records:

• Announcement portal page record in the Page table.

• Announcement widget instance record in the Widget Instance (sys_widget_instance) table.
