iOS Bulletin Board

Overview

The Bulletin Board highlights updates and featured links pinned by organizations in the community you are viewing. Bulletin Board cards can point to articles, events, challenges, places, organizations, posts, documents, or external websites.

Bulletin Board updates are different from safety alerts and closures. For urgent conditions, closure statuses, and affected locations, see Alerts and Closures.

Where Bulletin Board Appears

Open the Home tab for a community to find the Bulletin Board section when that community has pinned items. The Home section usually shows a limited set of recent or featured cards.

Organization pages can also show a Bulletin Board section on the Info area when that organization has pinned items.

If there are no current Bulletin Board items for the community or organization, the section is hidden.

3. The title of the update.
4. The organization that pinned it.
5. An image when one is available.

Why a Bulletin May Be Missing

A Bulletin Board item may not appear if:

1. You are viewing a different community.
2. The organization removed or replaced the pinned item.
3. The item is not part of the current Home carousel set.
4. Your device is offline or showing cached content.
5. The linked article, event, challenge, place, organization, post, or website is no longer available.

Troubleshooting

If the Bulletin Board does not look right:

1. Confirm you are viewing the correct community.
2. Check your internet connection.
3. Pull to refresh the full Bulletin Board list.
4. Reopen the Home tab or organization page.
5. Update OuterSpatial from the App Store or Google Play.

If a card opens the wrong place or an external link no longer works, contact Visitor Success at visitors@outerspatial.com and include the community, organization, and Bulletin Board title.
