After Sending

The announcement is added to the Announcement List with its department and date.
The announcement appears under My Announcement for every employee in the selected audience.
Where acknowledgement was required, the Acknowledge and Not Acknowledge counts begin tracking responses.

Set the audience before composing the message. Switching between All Department and Select Department changes who the announcement reaches, and the department list only appears once Select Department is chosen.
