This document covers the following topics:
The bulletin board facility can be visualized as a public announcement board which contains a number of bulletin boards, each of which pertains to a particular topic. For example, there might be a bulletin board labeled "Leisure'' that advertises free time events, or another board named "Education'' that notifies all users of courses which are available through the company and community.
This facility can be maintained by any system administrator or supervisor directly from their private Con-nect cabinets.
Con-nect users cannot add or erase bulletin boards, however, users can SEND memos or documents to a bulletin board as well as DISPLAY any object on a bulletin board and REPLY to it.
To add a bulletin board, issue the following in the command line:
ADD Bulletin
As a result, the following screen appears:

A number 0 through 9 to delimit which users can SEND items to a bulletin board. This number corresponds to the value specified in the "Address Level_" field on the "Administration - Cabinet Profile cabinet-name" screen. See Cabinet Profile.

Erasing a bulletin board is also a function which a system administrator or supervisor can perform from their own Con-nect cabinet.

To erase items from a bulletin board, issue the following command sequence:
DISPLAY Bulletin bulletin-board-name
