Add an announcement to a station
If you have information you want people to know when they check in, create an announcement that shows up on manned or self stations when people check in to an event.
Important
Announcements are informational only. There is no way to track who sees them.
People with editor permissions can add announcements to a station by using Check-Ins on a web browser.
