Feature overview

Goals

The aim of the Account News feature is to allow Enterprise Administrators to efficiently distribute messages to a broad audience through the Enterprise Portal.

Technical Prerequisites

This feature does not require any specific technical integrations for standard operation.

While no direct dependencies apply in typical scenarios, additional integrations or configurations may be necessary depending on the customer's infrastructure, business processes, or regulatory environment.

Functionality of the feature

CMP allows Users to create text-based news postings that will be visible to all Users of an Account. Limited support for adding images is available, however, other media types (such as video) are not supported.

The News feature facilitates the distribution of messages to a large audience by presenting newly created news postings to the User as a pop-up message upon login. This is offered as an alternative method that may be more efficient and preferable to using a separate email application.
