Shares and announcements overview
Both sharing and announcements disseminate organizational information through Feeds, but their purpose and management methods are different.
Capability differences
| Comparison items | Share | Announcement |
|---|---|---|
| Primary uses | Knowledge sharing, collaborative discussions, team dynamics and solicitation of ideas | Policies, emergency notifications, event calendar events and formal organizational information |
| Posting subject | Employees with publishing rights | Employees or administrators with permission to create announcements |
| Information attributes | Collaboration and communication | Formal notifications and public announcements |
| Scope control | Cc Scope, fixed Cc Scope rules and Feed permissions | Announcement object permissions, publication scope and Feeds display rules |
| Data maintenance | Feeds sharing data | Current object-based announcement data |
Applicable scenarios
- Use sharing to disseminate industry news, learning materials, project experience and team information.
- Use announcements to publish system changes, emergency notifications, event calendar events, and system maintenance information.
- For sharing that requires a fixed reach, the administrator can set fixed Cc Scope rules.
- For notifications that require formal maintenance and query, use the object-based announcement capability.
