Publish a Bulletin Board Post

Watch first: Bulletin Board Overview

Summary The Bulletin Board is where you catch up on the latest updates from your colleagues, and where you can publish your own posts. To publish one, open the Bulletin Board, click +, give the post a title of up to 20 characters, write its text, and add images, files or links if you want. When you post it, it goes to the moderators for approval, and you're notified once it's published.

Steps

Step 1

Click the green Bulletin Board (BB) tab on the right edge of your PaT screen.

Step 2

The Bulletin Board opens as a panel on the right of the screen, with the latest updates from your colleagues. To publish a new post, click the round + button at the bottom of the panel.

Step 3

The Create a Bulletin Post panel opens on the right of the screen. Click in the Bulletin Title (max 20 characters) box at the top and type the post's title. The title can be no more than 20 characters.

Step 4

Type the text of the post in the Bulletin Content box below the title. The post can only be published if there is some text in this box.

Step 5

To add an image or a file, click the attachment button (a paperclip), the first of the purple buttons below the Bulletin Content box.

Step 6

The Select Image box opens. Click the box under File: (it reads Click button to select file...) and choose a file from your device.

Tip. Add a photo where you can. Posts on the Bulletin Board that include a photo are up to 10 times more likely to get engagement, because our brains respond faster to visuals and colour than to plain text.

Step 7

The two buttons after the paperclip, the chain link and </>, add links and embedded links.

Step 8

When the post is ready, click POST COMMENT, the wide button at the right end of the row of purple buttons. The post is sent to the moderators for approval, and you'll receive a notification once it has been approved and published on the Bulletin Board.
