# V7.43.0 - Streamline Client Communication with the New "Notices" Feature
**Released Date - 20 May 2025**
We’re introducing **Notices**—a powerful new tool that makes it easier than ever to deliver important updates, announcements, and alerts directly within the Client Portal.
Whether it’s a planned system maintenance, regulatory update, or time-limited promotion, Notices ensure your message is seen by the right clients at the right time—reducing reliance on emails or external channels.
Fully customizable in appearance, language, recipients, and display duration, this feature gives you precise control over client-facing communication.
### Key Function Highlights
1. **Customisable Display:** Choose whether a notice appears at the top or bottom of the portal. Adjust alignment as well as font and background colours to reflect your brand or emphasize urgency.
2. **Multi-Language Support:** Set notice content in multiple languages. Clients will automatically see the message in their chosen portal language—ensuring clarity and consistency across regions.
3. **Audience Targeting:** Enjoy the flexibility to assign notices to specific client groups. Share tailored updates or operational alerts only with relevant users—such as VIP clients, specific account types, or regional groups—without broadcasting to everyone.
4. **Scheduled Visibility:** Define a start and end date for each notice. Perfect for time-sensitive alerts, seasonal promos, or scheduled system changes.
### 1) Permission Settings
To start publishing Notices, the appropriate user permissions must be assigned:
1. **Read Notices** – Grants view-only access to existing notices.
2. **Update Notices** – Grants full access to create, edit, publish, and delete notices.
Once these permissions are assigned, the "Notices" option will appear in the side menu under the "Notify" module, allowing you to manage client communications directly.
By default, you will see the notices you have created. Use the dropdown menu to adjust your view to one of the following scopes:
* **Your Own Data** – Notices created by you only.
* **Direct Downlines** – Notices created by your direct downline users.
* **All Downlines** – Notices created by all users in your downline hierarchy.
* **Same Role** – Notices created by users assigned the same Role as you.
* **Company Wide** – Notices created by any user within the company.
### 2) Select Default Notice Position
You can set the default position where notices will appear on the Client Portal. Choose either Top or Bottom to best suit your communication needs.
* **Top:** Notices will be displayed prominently at the top of the Client Portal screen, ensuring maximum visibility.
* **Bottom**: Notices will appear at the bottom of the Client Portal, providing a less intrusive but still accessible location.
