How to Use Filters in Announcements

    • Select and add the relevant filters that apply to your announcement (e.g., region, department, campaign type).

  4. Save and Share

    • Once saved and shared, these filters will be embedded with the announcement metadata.



Where Filters Are Visible

Once filters are applied and the announcement is shared, they will be visible in the following areas:
