Using the Bulletin Board Area of the Dashboard Screen
Each post shows who posted the message, the date and time it was posted, the type of recipients, and the message. If the post is pinned to the Bulletin Board area, then a Pin icon is displayed in the upper-right corner. Pinned posts are highlighted and listed at the top of the Bulletin Board area. All other posts are listed chronologically.
