Notices

Center Notices allow you to display messages for your Trac System users.

These messages will display in a grey box on their home screen, the name of the box is based on the name of your Profile. Notices can be individually configured for Staff, Consultants, Faculty, Students, and Kiosks.

Notices can be created by going to Trac Navigation > Search Glass > Center Profiles > [Your Profile] > Prefs > Notices. You’ll see each user type has their own notice field; you can begin editing any of these by clicking on the blue “…” icon. Once you’ve written your notices, click save to apply the changes.
