Context

When you create many announcements using public APIs provided by SAP AIN, you can view these announcements using the Announcements app and perform a mass publish of such announcements. In addition, if you have assigned a model to an announcement, or an instruction to an announcement, you can navigate to the model details or the instruction details and work with a model or an instruction.

The following procedure applies to all types of announcements (Instruction change, Service Bulletin, RecallNew Policy, New Model, Document Change, Spare Parts Change, Model Information Change, New Firmware, Availability). For simplicity, we only describe the Instruction Change procedure.

Procedure

Open the Announcements application.
In the Announcements window, search for an appropriate announcement using the filters - Announcement Type, Status, Read Status, Change On Date and Priority.

Note To publish one or more unpublished announcements that are created either using APIs, or using the Announcements application, select the announcements from the list and choose Publish.
Choose an announcement from the search list and select View Details.
In the Announcement screen, choose the Information tab to view the details that are specific to the announcement. These details can include Name, Type, Priority, and Description.
In the Announcement screen, choose the Instructions tab to view the instructions assigned to the announcement.

For more information on working with instructions, see Instructions.
In the Announcement screen, choose the Documents tab to view the relevant documentation available for an announcement.

You can also view the confidentiality of the assigned documents.
In the Announcement screen, choose the Assignments tab to view the models to which the announcements are relevant.

If you want to view details of a model, select the model and choose View Details.
