ADMINISTRATOR: Adding Single Pages

This article would only be applicable to users with an Administrator system role on their account, as this feature would not be accessible for non-administrator users.

Single Pages allow administrators to create and display targeted messages to users within SARD. These pages can be used to share important updates, guidance, or reminders with specific groups of users or across your entire organisation.

They are particularly useful for reinforcing key communications at the point of use within the system. For example, you might use a Single Page to:

announce the opening of a Job Planning or Appraisal round,
remind appraisers to review or complete specific sections ahead of Appraisal meetings,
provide guidance or links to supporting resources during key processes, or
share organisation-wide updates or requirements relevant to SARD users.

Because Single Pages are visible within the system, they can help ensure important messages are seen at the right time, rather than relying solely on email communications.

To create a new Single Page, please go to ADMIN, then click Miscellaneous at the top of the page followed by Single Pages from this drop-down list:

From that page, you will see any previously created Single Pages, along with the option to create + New Single Page:

By clicking on the + New Single Page button, you will get to the page where you input the information for your Single Page:

You will notice a Compulsory box you can tick or untick. When ticked, every user will have to click the checkbox and press 'Continue' – no other menu options will be available until they have confirmed they have read the page. If it is not set as a compulsory page, users do not need to select the checkbox, and they can just click 'Continue'. The menu tabs are not hidden for non-compulsory pages, but the page will continue to appear until they click 'Continue'.

Below the section to add information and set as compulsory, you will see a list of roles from which you can choose to specify a subset of users the Single Page would apply to. For example, if you wanted the Single Page to only show to users who are appraisers and have the MSF product switched on for their account, you would click both of those boxes:

Single Pages can be used for: explaining new functionality to all users, displaying information for specific users (e.g. appraiser training information), and confirming users agree to a set of terms and conditions.

The page will only be visible to users once the Published box has been checked, so you can create any edit these pages before making them visible.

SARD records the date and the version of this text that was shown when the user accepts the page.
