Announcement Bar should have feature for changing announcements

Hi there,

love your new widget. However it’d be much more useful if it you could add multiple announcements, and the text would then change in desired interval, automatically or by slide-function.

We are ecstatic to hear that you enjoy our new app!

Your idea regarding multiple announcements sounds reasonable and we’ll aim to include it in our upcoming updates. We’ll keep you posted here :slightly_smiling_face:

It would be great to see the option of different background styles for different seasonal events, or even being able to upload our own backgrounds to make them more in tune with the season or the event.

Hi @John_URated and welcome to the Community :wave:

Glad to tell you that you can upload your image as a background or even add video from YouTube or Vimeo:

Check it out and let me know if it worked for you :slightly_smiling_face:

Just like the Announcement bar, only adding the capability for multiple messages, with the option for auto-scrolling like a ticker tape (marquee) or rotating to the next message after X seconds.

Hey there @user2703 :wave:

I totally agree that these features would definitely enhance our app!

We already have a request for the multiple messages and I’ve moved your comment to the dedicated topic. All the updates will be posted here.

As for the moving Announcement Bar, I see that you’ve already found the dedicated thread where we’ll keep you abreast of any changes - Moving Announcement Bar - #3 by user2703

Many thanks for sharing your thoughts, it’s highly appreciated :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi there, @user894 :wave:

Thank you so much for the feedback!

I am really sorry, but we haven’t got any news yet, unfortunately :pensive:

Currently, we have a bunch of requests with the higher priority level, this is why it’s hard to share the ETA for this feature. However, if receive any news from the dev team, we’ll update you here right away :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m really missing scrolling or ticking ‘Announcement Bar’ to accommodate several news instead of just one.

Cheers, Carsten (use Google Sites)

Hi there, @Sonderjysk_Fedtkage :wave:

At the moment, this multiple announcements are not supported in our app. However, this idea is already on the Wishlist, and I’ve merged your comment with it :slightly_smiling_face:

Friends, this request is now marked as ‘Planned’, which means we’re currently exploring possible development options, so it’s on our radar :muscle:t2:

Please note that we can’t provide any specifics at this stage, as we’re still in the process of estimating potential solutions. However, let’s hope we’ll see it in the ‘In Progress’ status during Q2! :blush:

I see we can create a schedule for one annoucement. If we could create multiple holiday schedules or events that are coming up that would be nice. So that we don’t have to go in after each event, we just set the schedules and it displays. Maybe something that every Tuesday a specific annoucement comes up and rotates if you have another message already on for that day as well.

Hi there, @user21833 :waving_hand:

If I got it right, you’re talking about the Announcement Bar widget. To implement this idea, the multiple announcements should be supported in the app, and we do have plans to consider it in the future.

I’ve moved your comment to the related thread, where we’ll keep you updated :slightly_smiling_face:
