Overview
Manage.Management has more than one communication surface:- Announcements as a surface for resident-facing updates and notices
- Communications for structured management messaging, templates, batches, and audit history
- Voting and Meetings for participation and formal decision-making
Creating Announcements
Navigate to Announcements
Open Announcements from the sidebar. Use it as the building’s update surface for resident-facing notices and operational messages.
Write Your Message
Create your announcement with:
- Title: Clear, descriptive headline
- Message: Enough context for residents to understand what is happening and when
- Category / priority: Use a label that helps people scan the update later
Announcement Best Practices
Clear Titles
Use descriptive titles: “Water Supply Interruption - 15 March” not “Important Notice”
Include Details
Cover what is happening, who is affected, when it matters, and what residents need to do
Set Urgency
Reserve urgent language for genuine emergencies or time-sensitive disruption
Follow Up
Close the loop when a repair, vote, or meeting outcome is complete
Using the Communications workspace
The dedicated Communications area is aimed at management users who need more structure than a simple announcement.Choose a template or start fresh
The compose workflow begins with a template library so regular building communications stay consistent.
Review and customise the content
Adjust subject and body text, preview the final message, and then send when ready.
Voting and meetings sit alongside communications
Use the nearby Voting and Meetings areas when the goal is participation or a formal record, not just an update.Voting
Voting
Create polls, monitor participation, and let residents respond from the same building workspace.
Meetings
Meetings
Schedule meetings, handle meeting requests, run date polls, and keep agenda items, documents, attendees, resolutions, and minutes together.
Keep messages and records connected
Link documents
Store notices, minutes, budgets, and supporting records in the document repository so communications have context
Reuse templates
Standard templates help management teams stay consistent across buildings and repeated workflows
Separate updates from decisions
Use announcements for news, voting for decisions, and meetings for structured discussion and records
Think by audience
A resident update should read differently from an internal management-company communication run
