Step-by-step guide


  1. You can post an advert in Myplace by going to the My notices block and select Post Notice. The block is available on your dashboard and from a course page.

                               

The My notices block in the Dashboard shows a slider oof adverts and the latest notices. There are two buttons, View all Notices and Post Notice. The Post notice button is highlighted.
  1. In the Post Notice form, set the type to Advert .

The Type filed is located within the Type section. The field is a select input. The selected value is Advert
  1. Choose your target audience, as you would when posting a notice.

    You might have the option to send a public advert (one which targets all users of Myplace). If you request a public advert it will be sent to a moderation queue before being published.

    In alternative, you can target your audience by class by selecting Choose and selecting which class, programme or groups. The options available depend on the access level you currently hold.

The audience section contains three fields. A checkbox named public advert, an input field named Courses and Groups followed by a choose button, and field named Users
  1. Please define the start and the end date under Publication Dates.

The Publication Dates section contains two date fields named Start Date and End Date. Both fields have a checkbox to enable them.
  1. In the Send Notice section you can define what you want your advert to contain. You can start by adding a subject, a title, and the text. A preview of your advert will be available as you fill in the form fields. Please refer to our Advert Style Guide to create your content.

Info

The advert may be resized to fit appropriately, so please keep your text short and use plain language. You are limited to a maximum of 280 characters. Should you need to include a large amount of text, please consider placing this on a web page that is linked to the advert.

The send notice section contains the Style, Subject (required), Title (required), and Text filed. Under the text there is character counter showing 280 characters left.
  1. Continuing in the Send Notice section, you choose to add a link. This means that when clicked the advert will direct the Myplace user to a webpage.

Info

You should always link your adverts to a “more information” web page. You cannot change a Myplace advert once posted, so having a linked page that you control will allow you to change the information made available to viewers as necessary.

  1. Finally, choose an appropriate image for your advert and the Tint Colour which will allow you to choose a colour from the defined brand colours to decorate your advert with. Plesse see Advert Image Specification for help with choosing and editing an image.

Tip

Adverts will be displayed either on the public front page of Myplace (if it's a public advert) or in the Notices block of the relevant class. Consequently the size will be adjusted to suit the space. The advert image will focus around the centre of the image so please keep this in mind when posting your image.


A checked checkbox named Link advert and a text field named Link URL


The required image picker named Image only accepts JPEG and PNG fie formats. The filed name Tint is a select and the selected value is Corporate Blue. The preview is not generated and the fields are blank.
