The Message of the Day is a banner on the dashboard of each member of your community. MyWatchtower sends no email and no notification for it. The banner stays until you change it or turn it off. Use it for standing notices, such as office hours, roadwork or the dates of the pool season.
By default, only the Admin role can set the message. If you do not see the Profile tab in Settings, your role cannot use it.
Set the message
1. Go to Settings > Profile.
2. In the Message of the Day card, turn on Enable Message of the day.
3. Type the message in Message of the day. The message can have up to 200 characters. A counter under the field shows the number of characters.
4. Select Save.
If the switch is on and the field is empty, the card shows "Message of the day is required when enabled".
If you try to leave the tab with changes that you did not save, MyWatchtower asks you to save them first.
Where members see it
The message shows as a banner on the dashboard of each community member, residents and staff alike.
Change the message from time to time, so that members continue to read it.
Turn off the message
1. Go to Settings > Profile.
2. Turn off Enable Message of the day.
3. Select Save.
The banner goes away from each dashboard. MyWatchtower keeps the text for the next time that you turn the message on.
Send a one-time message instead
The Message of the Day does not reach people by email or on their phones. To send a one-time email and push notification to each member, go to Settings > Announcements.
