Wittified is excited to announce the release of Announcer 2.0. This release brings a wealth of new updates. ( See below for the exact changes). Support for new formats In addition to HTML, we have now introduced  Markdown  and  plain text support  to the the list of formats (pick your format from the list under Advanced). Delayed activation for acknowledgement button We have enhanced the acknowledgment button to allow for a delayed activation in case people are you just hitting "Dismiss". On This Page User Interface changes We have revisited the user interface and updated the various areas: Main screen Basic editor Advanced editor Reports Wondering if people are actually reading the content of your announcements? We have added in a "Dwell" time to the report. This allows you to see how long somebody spent on the page until they hit "Dismiss". Let the Space/Project Administrators in on the fun Up to now, only the application administrator could create announcement. Now you can allow Space/Project Administrators to create dialog and banner announcements in their areas. Targeting options We have made numerous improvements in the area of targeting including some scaling and getting ready for the Data Center products. One addition is the targeting of announcements to groups.
