Broadcast Message to all users

[Steven Young]

So i have seen this asked many times on the Community and there does not seem to be an answer.

**WE ARE ON GENEVA RELEASE**

UNTIL NOW.

There is a table that is not advertised in ServiceNow anywhere that i can find.   There is no wiki about it, and there is no known discussion on the community about it that i could find.

Well DING DING DING... ServiceNow Devs do it again.

Broadcast Message:   sys_broadcast_message   table.

There is nothing in the filter navigator about it,   so you'll have to create something for it to be in your Navigator List.

I have customized my form a lot.   the basic form is just that:   Basic:

The message seems like it's Full HTML coding   and it is displayed like so:   Just the red box.   I have customized it to be the blue header in the center and spaced out.

But so far it's pretty awesome.   I wanted to post about it because there have been so many questions about it without an answer to this point.

Well, that's not exactly a timely response, is it? My apologies! I created a draft version a while ago, then decided to bring in some changes and that's that

I presented a Shared Services Lab at K17, for which I created a newer version the widget.

I just carved out some time to publish that version of what we currently have to Share. It is currently awaiting Review, once this has been conducted, it will be available for download.

This is certainly not the final version, but it will give you an idea what you can do.

thank you so much for the quick response! I will try it out and see how it goes!

Perfect, let me know if you had any issues installing the update set.

I'll also create a short document, explaining some of the options. Right now, I was more focused on publishing the solution, but with the notes from Share, you should be able to get it up and running. To test, simply assign the "Stock /w Announcement" header to your portal theme, create an announcement and it should show up in all portals, that use this particular theme with the header.
