To have your post appear in the next Staff Notes Daily morning email:
Submissions are due before 4:00 p.m. on a business day, with a start date that is the following business day or later.
When you submit an Announcement/Calendar Event or a Classified ad after the 4:00pm deadline, your post will be reviewed at the end of thefollowing business day.
If you want it to appear in the Staff Notes Daily morning email, you must select a start date that is at least two business days in the future. Keep this in mind especially when posting on weekends or holidays.
Corrections after the deadline has passed:
If you've discovered a significant error in a message scheduled to go out tomorrow and it's after 4:00pm, you can still edit ("Start a New Draft") or delete the submission. However, if you start a new draft you must advance the start date to the next business day after tomorrow, to allow time for it to be reviewed/approved.
Use Title Case Style, Like This, NOT ALL CAPS, for your title. Do not use the exact same title more than once.
Use key words in your title to convey what's interesting or important: For example, compare: "New Opportunity" vs. "Campus Visit Opportunity for Scientists and Engineers."
This is a required step. Choose one or both. See below for how Announcement timing differs from Calendar event timing.
Choose "Announcement" to provide work-related information not associated with an event, or to alert staff about a future event so they can "save the date."
Choose "Calendar event" to:
Start date: the date you would like your Announcement or Classified to appear (once only) in the Staff Notes Daily email to all staff. Please be sure that you have selected the next business day or thereafter. Your message will also begin appearing on the Staff Notes Daily website on the start date.
End date: the date your Announcement will cease appearing on the website as a Previous Announcement and will be moved to the site's archives.
Please note that the date of a Calendar event does not automatically appear within an Announcement. For "save the date" Announcements, you must include the timing, location, and other details about the event within the Body of your post.
Since Classifieds are not archived, your ad will no longer appear on the web after the end date you specify. You will need to keep a personal record should you wish to refer to your ad after its end date.
To re-issue the same Announcement on a future date, you can edit the start date, but note that the Announcement will stop appearing on the website until the new start date. If you prefer, you can copy and paste the relevant information into a new Announcement with the start date you want.
Enter the actual date and time that your event begins and the actual date and time that it ends (e.g., 7/22/2016 at 1:30 p.m. to 7/22/2016 at 2:30 p.m.).
For repeating events
DELETIONS take effect immediately. Be sure you want to delete the post, because it cannot be restored once it has been deleted.
EDITS need to be re-approved by the moderator, and may not return to the web until the next business day after being approved. If you want your post to re-appear in the morning email, you must update the start date to the next business day or thereafter.
CHANGED YOUR MIND? Do not click "Save." Instead, simply close the window, or click the "View" tab at the top the left of the "Edit" tab at the top right of your screen, and nothing will change.
