Use Notice Configuration to show users a message when they log in, and require acceptance when needed
Overview
Login announcements let administrators present a message to users when they log in to FranConnect, such as a policy update, terms of use, or an acknowledgment. In FranConnect they are created as Notices in Notice Configuration.
A notice can be informational, or it can require users to accept it before they can proceed. When acceptance is required, FranConnect records each user's response so administrators can confirm who has agreed.
Note: In the Admin area, this feature appears as Notice Configuration and is described as "Set up notice versions and monitor user logins for agreement."
