Create a custom announcement
set so you can use it as a base for changing your system's
announcements. This step allows you to keep the standard
announcement sets in their original state so you that
can use them again if necessary.
|
If you are thinking about upgrading your system
in the future, consider the following:
- If
you customize the standard (or terse) set rather
than create a custom announcement set, you lose
all customization during the upgrade.
- Custom
announcements from your original system are not
automatically moved to and activated in the upgraded
system. In fact, the old custom announcement set
might not make sense in the context of the new
features.
- Standard
fragments that you rerecorded are moved to the
new system and placed in the appropriate announcements.
- You
need to contact your account executive or technical
support representative to discuss the impact of
potential upgrades before you customize your announcements.

You create a custom announcement set in two steps:
You can change the
announcements and fragments as desired, after you create
an announcement set but before you activate it, .
