Publish announcements from Manager to the Finger Trader App message center

Finger Manager centrally manages announcement creation, editing, publishing, and history.

Operations staff can select Announcement in the notification center, enter the title and body, then configure target users, publish time, and other display conditions as needed.

After publishing, the announcement enters the Finger Trader App announcement system, where users can view it from the message center or announcement entry.

01 Select announcement type

Operations staff first select the Announcement type in the Finger Manager notification module.

Announcements are suitable for formal, more complete information that users may need to review later.

Common use cases include important platform announcements, service rule changes, system upgrade notes, product launch notices, market opening or adjustment notices, trading rule changes, holiday schedules, maintenance plans, institution business notices, and other formal operational information.

Compared with marquee, announcements usually support more complete body content.

02 Configure announcement title and body

Operations staff can configure the main announcement content, including title, body, summary, publish time, effective time, target users, user groups, category, related images, related links, tap-through URL, and pinned status.

The announcement body can explain full business background, timing, impact scope, and points users should pay attention to.

For example, the title can be: US market holiday trading-hour adjustment notice.

The body can further explain the specific date, opening time, closing time, and affected products.

03 Set target users

Announcements can be configured with different visibility scopes according to business needs.

Target scopes can include all users, specified users, specified customer groups, institutions, market users, product users, regional users, or users who match specific conditions.

With target-user configuration, different customers can receive announcements related to their business, market permissions, or product usage.

For example, only customers who use the US stocks market may receive a US stocks trading-hour adjustment notice, while users of other markets do not need to see it.

04 Preview announcement content

Before formal publishing, operations staff can preview how the announcement will appear in Finger Trader App.

Preview helps confirm the announcement title, body layout, publish time, image display, link position, category, and the details page after user tap.

Operations staff should publish only after confirming the content is correct.

05 Publish announcement

After configuration, operations staff click Publish in Finger Manager.

After publishing, eligible users can see the announcement in the Finger Trader App announcement entry or message center.

Depending on the front-end design, users can view announcements in the message center, browse historical announcements, open an announcement details page, or tap related links to enter a target page.

An announcement does not disappear simply because a user closes one reminder. It can remain in the announcement list for later review.

Announcement history

Announcements are designed to remain available for later review.

Users can view published announcements that are still accessible from the Finger Trader App announcement center.

Operations staff can also manage historical announcements in Finger Manager, including viewing published announcements, changing status, unpublishing, adjusting pinned status, changing visibility scope, checking publish time, and managing historical content.

Therefore, announcements are not only a notification feature, but also a long-term information publishing channel from the institution to customers.

Pinned announcement

Information that needs long-term high exposure can be set as Pinned.

After pinning, the announcement can remain at the top of the announcement list.

Suitable pinned content includes important service rules, major system changes, long-term business notices, important risk reminders, and information that users should continue to follow.

When the information no longer needs priority display, operations staff can unpin it without deleting the announcement itself.

Difference from other notification formats

Announcement is suitable for formal, complete information that can be reviewed over time. It has an independent title and body, can open a details page, can keep historical records, supports later review, and is suitable for formal business notices.

Marquee is suitable for short, immediate, continuously visible information. It is directly displayed on the page, does not interrupt user operations, and usually has a clear time sensitivity.

Popup is suitable for high-attention information. It provides strong exposure, can be displayed when entering a page, can configure CTA or routing, and is suitable for campaigns and key reminders.

The same important message can also combine multiple notification formats. For example, a system maintenance notice can use announcement for the full maintenance explanation, marquee for continuous maintenance-time reminder, and popup for key reminder before maintenance.

Manager and App synchronization logic

Finger Manager configuration: create announcement, set title and body, set announcement category, set target users, set publish time, set pinned status, preview, and publish.

Finger Trader App behavior: receive announcement data, determine whether the current user matches visibility conditions, display it in the announcement center, allow users to view the announcement list, open details, and review historical announcements later.

Announcement publishing and management are controlled centrally by Finger Manager.

Typical use cases

System upgrade announcement: when major upgrades or feature changes occur, announcement can explain upgrade time, new capabilities, and affected services in detail.

Trading-hour adjustment: when a market changes trading hours because of holidays or special circumstances, announcement can provide full explanation to relevant market users.

Product launch notice: when an institution adds a market, product, or service, it can publish a formal announcement and introduce related usage information in the body.

Rules and service changes: when trading rules, terms of service, fee structure, or other business rules change, announcement can be used for formal notice.

Long-term business notice: for information users may need to query later, announcement is more suitable than temporary popup or marquee.
