A Guide to Using Staff Noticeboard

Edited

The Staff Noticeboard is a centralized communication tool designed for internal staff announcements, updates, and reminders. Unlike Messages (which support two-way communication), the Noticeboard functions as a broadcast-style information board, ensuring important updates are visible to all staff members.

This feature is ideal for sharing organizational announcements, policy updates, schedule reminders, departmental news, staff recognition, and other internal communications.


Where to Access the Staff Noticeboard

  1. From your StoriiCare Dashboard, click Staff Noticeboard in the main menu.

  2. All staff with permission to view the Noticeboard will see posted announcements here.

  3. Staff with higher permissions (e.g., managers or administrators) can create, edit, or delete Noticeboard posts.


Staff Noticeboard Settings

Administrators can configure Noticeboard options by clicking the settings wheel/cog icon (if available in your account’s permission model).

Common configuration options include:

  • Enabling or disabling Note Tagging + adding custom Note type tags (tags are a way to label the updates you post, helping staff easily filter and organize notes by type).

  • Enabling or disabling Participant Tagging. This setting is usually disabled, as Staff Notices are reserved for operational updates. However, some care providers may have a reason to tag participants in their Staff Notices.

  • Enabling or disabling Allow AI Translation. Having this enabled for teams with multi-language speakers is a great idea. This allows staff to translate a Staff Notice into their preferred language.

  • Enabling or disabling 'Read by' Staff. If enabled, each post to the noticeboard has a check mark in the right corner for staff to mark the note as read. Managers can then click where it says 'X people' to view a list of who has and hasn't read the Staff Notice.

Note: Settings available may vary depending on your organization’s permission structure.


Viewing the Noticeboard

Staff Noticeboard Notifications

From your StoriiCare Dashboard, you will see a red number icon on the Staff Noticeboard if there is a new post. This number indicates how many new, unread notices you have. Click to view them.

New notices will be highlighted. If applicable, click on the checkmark to record that you have seen and read the notice.

Staff can scroll through all published announcements or use built-in tools to manage visibility:

  • Unread only (if enabled on your account) helps staff quickly locate any new updates.

  • Flagged only (if enabled on your account) helps staff quickly locate any urgent notices.

  • Filter by tags (if enabled on your account) allows staff to find updates that pertain to a specific category (e.g. New Employees, Events, Policy Changes, etc.)

  • Attached files open directly from the notice for fast access.

All posts remain visible until edited or deleted by an authorized user.

  1. Begin composing your post in the provided text box area.

  • Use formatting and headings to improve readability.Attach files (e.g., schedules, policy documents, event flyers) when helpful.

  • Use the Noticeboard for items relevant to broad staff groups rather than individual-specific updates.
