The message board is a widget that displays messages stored via the "Message Board Admin" screen found in the Menu>Administration section. See separate help section for a detailed explanation of the Message Board Admin page.
In the admin section, messages can be added to a site, an individual dashboard or across the whole organization. Messages can be up to 2500 characters in length. Those dashboards that have the widget included will be displayed, ready for new messages to be added.
When added to the dashboard, the messages are viewed by levels of importance and can be scrolled by clicking on the up or down arrows or set to scroll automatically.
