Manage programme news

Programme news articles (or pages) provide both general and specific information about the programme.  

Programme news articles appear under ‘Programme news’ in the user’s profile. Published news articles are viewed from here and do not appear in the user’s newsfeed. 

Every user with receiving permission will be notified that a new programme news article has been published. 

Every programme you create on the bountiXP platform should contain these common and fundamental elements, which must be set up and communicated via programme news articles, to your users at the start of the programme.    

 They are: 

• Welcome to the programme 
• Programme rules 
• Programme FAQs 
• How it works 

 If there has been an update to your programme or if there is a specific issue you wish to address, use ‘Programme news’ to disseminate information. 

  Only administrators may add additional programme news articles or pages.
