Location Bulletins

This section was called the Bulletin Board in legacy Inteliguide. We felt that wasn't descriptive enough of the actual purpose of the feature, so we renamed it to Location Bulletins. That's what they truly are. They are bulletin posts that are made for individual unique Locations with information that should apply uniquely to its respective Location.

In the old system, Shifts were created exclusively for Groups, not just Locations, so to really understand the Bulletin Board system in legacy, and how individual posts would present themselves eventually to the intended audience, you also had to understand Shifts and how they were added to the legacy Schedule. It was all very confusing, so we're aiming to make it less so... and hopefully, as a result, make it more powerful and useful.

To understand the application or utility of this section is to understand all of the above along with how the Shift Dash works in conjunction with Scheduled and actively worked Shifts. As described there, once a User logs in and views the Dash... if they're Scheduled for or actively Clocked In for a Shift, they'll be able to see the associated Locations Bulletins Dash Widget. That widget should feature any Unread or Read active bulletins for the Location(s) that might apply to that current Shift. A Shift created for a Group is still created for Locations, one or more. The Location Bulletins Widget will feature active Posts for any and all Locations contained within that Group.

Note: Posts created in this section appear on the Shift Dash, as mentioned above.
