   You can click “Filter” if you want to filter the list of announcements that have been made based on category.

2. Enter the title in the Subject field and the announcement category in the Category field.

3. Click Forms to select a form if needed.
   
    

   You can check up to 5 forms to include in the Announcement. The forms that appear in this selection are forms with active status and accessible to all employees.
