How to Add Announcement in ServiceNow Backend view (Not via Service Portal)

[Irene M]

Hi everyone!

Is it possible to post an announcement in the back end of ServiceNow? We will be upgrading the system from Quebec to San Diego and we want to post an announcement in both back end and portal about the system downtime.

If this is possible, can someone teach me how to do it? I need it in the white box below

Just use the UI script I posted above.
It works fine in the next experience.

that is just the thing, we have not launched next experience. That is what the announcement is about....before we switch. So I need to do the announcement in UI16.

Script works in both U16 and Next Exp.
We have been using it for years.

Perfect, than I ask my administrators to use it. Thank you John
