Overview
The Whiteboard is a messaging system presented as a ticker--messages that scroll across the bottom of the site header. Messages may be scheduled for a certain date and time with an optional termination date. The message may be displayed for all users including End Users (Public) or just Analysts (Private). It can be further restricted to specific Analyst Groups, Sites and Departments. Analysts who have been given permission to compose Whiteboard messages can do so from Main Menu > Home.
