Using the Noticeboard

Follow

Overview

The Noticeboard is an area within an Entity record where users can highlight important information about an individual, household or organization. Noticeboard posts can be added to a record to alert the Client Service team to life events such as a divorce or the loss of a loved one.

Noticeboard posts on a User or Financial Product record can also be shared across their related entities. For more information on sharing posts across entities, see our Understanding and Using the Noticeboard article.

Noticeboard posts can be automatically archived on a pre-determined date or archived manually when no longer needed. Archived posts can be accessed at any time from the Noticeboard Posts tab. This article covers the basics of creating and managing Noticeboard posts.

Noticeboard Post Types

There are three types of Noticeboard posts, as shown here:

  1. Critical posts are highlighted in orange and appear both in the Noticeboard area and at the top of the screen as a toast notification. Critical post notifications remain at the top of the record page every time it is opened until a user dismisses it. These notifications also appear at the top of the screen when viewing records related to the entity, such as assets, tasks or emails.
  2. Important posts are highlighted in gray.
  3. Standard posts are not highlighted. Standard is the default selection in the Alert Level field.

  2. Make the desired changes, then click Save. A success message appears, and the post is updated.

Archive a Noticeboard Post

Noticeboard posts can be archived, which removes them from display in the Noticeboard area but keeps them saved within Practifi. As noted above in the Create a Noticeboard Post section, you can set a Noticeboard post to be automatically archived by selecting a date from the Archive Date field when creating a post.

You can also manually archive a Noticeboard post before the archive date or even if the post does not have an archive date set. To archive a Noticeboard post at any time, click the caret on the post you want to archive, then select Archive. A success message appears, and the post is removed from the Noticeboard area.

Delete a Noticeboard Post

Please note: Delete access is controlled using permission sets. By default, only Practifi Administrators have the ability to delete Noticeboard posts. Once deleted, a Noticeboard post cannot be recovered. Users should consider archiving a Noticeboard post rather than deleting it. 

To delete a Noticeboard post, click the caret on the post, then select Delete.
