Team Announcements
Announcements are created for team agent(s) to notify the important news or information. Each agent/member of the team receives the announcement except the supervisor who has created the announcement.
- An agent will receive the announcement on logging in or whenever she is logging in, will receive the announcement until the announcement gets expired.
- Will not receive the announcement if she is logged out.
Each announcement has its own status
