Here's how to create an announcement in StalliQ: Go to the Stable tab, open the overview and tap the plus button in the Announcements area. Enter a title and content, choose the priority (Normal, Important or Urgent) and optionally a target group. Your members see the announcement on the stable noticeboard and receive a push notification depending on the configuration.
How do I create an announcement?
Tap the plus button in the Announcements area:
- Title - Short heading (e.g. "Arena closed")
- Content - Detailed description
- Priority - Determines how it's displayed:
- Normal (grey) - Standard messages
- Important (orange) - Highlighted notes
- Urgent (red) - Critical messages (displayed especially prominently)
- Expiry date - Optional: the announcement is automatically hidden after this date
- Target group - Optional: only specific roles or skill levels (e.g. "Managers and riding instructors only")
Tap "Save". The announcement appears immediately on the noticeboard of all eligible members.
What do members see?
Members see announcements in the Stable tab under "Announcements" on the overview. Each announcement shows:
- Priority badge (colour-coded)
- Title and content
- Creation date
- Expiry date (if set)
- Target-group info (e.g. "Only for: Managers, Riding instructors")
Announcements are sorted chronologically - the newest at the top. If there are no announcements, it says "No announcements".
How does the weather push work?
If you've enabled the weather push feature, StalliQ automatically sends push notifications to your members for special weather conditions:
- Frost - Temperature below 0°C expected
- Strong wind - Storm warning
- Thunderstorm - Thunderstorm warning
- Heat - Unusually high temperatures
The weather widget on the stable overview shows a 3-day forecast for your stable's location. The forecast is based on the geo coordinates of your stable address.
How do I filter announcements by target group?
When creating an announcement, you can restrict who sees it under "Target group":
- Everyone - All stable members (default)
- By role - Only specific roles (e.g. only riding instructors, only managers)
- By skill level - Only members with a certain level (e.g. only advanced)
Members who aren't part of the target group don't see the announcement.
