Organize your notice board by topics like Safety, Events, or Maintenance.
Overview
Announcement Categories structure the notice board by topic, making it easier for students to find relevant posts and for admins to filter, review, and report on communications.
- Clarity: Group similar announcements (e.g., Safety, Events, Maintenance).
- Findability: Students scan by topic; admins filter and report by category.
- Governance: Keep the list short and meaningful to reduce noise.
