Something to Announce

Welcome back, it’s been a long time! Today we’re here to let you know about the first of several new features we have planned for this summer. Anyway, let’s get to it.


What we’ve added is a method for us to notify you, our users, of important happenings in the Therapylog universe such as eligibility updates and scheduled downtime. The announcements are displayed in a box at the top of Therapylog in the same area as the FAQ buttons, as shown in the following screenshot.
The text of the announcement is a link to additional information such as links to regulatory information, training materials, and blog posts such as this one.

If you made it here through the announcement link you probably noticed that clicking it automatically hides the announcement at the top of the page. But, in the future if you don’t need the information presented you can simply dismiss the notification using the close button next to the link as shown below:

Any notifications that you’ve dismissed can be reviewed later via the “View All” link at the bottom of the TL News tab on the home page.

Finally, we recognize that not everyone wants to know about everything that’s going on so we’ve included the ability to unsubscribe from certain types of announcements (we’ll always let you know about down time). To customize what types of announcements you want to see head on over to the “Edit My Account” page; near the bottom you’ll find some new checkboxes:

Each of these boxes represents a category of announcement we’ll be making and unchecking the box will prevent us from displaying these to you.

Thanks for your time and happy computing!
