  2. In the login menu, select Administration

  6. Choose whether the announcement should be visible only in a Task/Task Center, or if it is a Global announcement

    • An example of a targeted Task or Task Center announcement would be if Canvas had an outage, an announcement could be placed directly on the Canvas Task in myMiami. This announcement would pop up when users click the Task to alert them to the outage
