Tips

  • Search multiple fields - Queries search announcement subjects, email bodies, SMS content, and creator names simultaneously
  • Case-insensitive - Search is case-insensitive, so “Soup”, “SOUP”, and “soup” all return the same results
  • Partial matches - Search finds partial word matches, so searching “event” will find “events”, “prevention”, etc.
  • Highlighted text - Matched keywords are highlighted in yellow in the excerpt for easy identification
  • Status indicators - Status badges (Draft, Sent, Processing, Scheduled) show the current state of each announcement
