Hello everyone,
Suggestion: add native support for a popup shown once at login, displaying content such as a welcome message, alerts, company announcements or « what’s new » notes.
Why: admins currently have no standard way to communicate with users at login (maintenance, onboarding messages, news). The only workaround is a custom home action + dummy form that opens a popup via onLoad — it works but is not user-friendly for non-technical admins.
Possible implementation:
-
A dedicated screen (e.g., Administration → Announcements) where an admin composes a message, sets a validity period and the target audience (all users, a group, new users only).
-
A « Don’t show again » option stored per user.
-
Optionally honor the
popupview-param in the user’s Home action, so any action-view can open as a popup at login.
Would love to hear if this is being considered or if there’s a recommended approach. Thanks!
