Hi,

I’ve been thinking about a feature for our company app, but I can’t figure out how to build it.

I’d like to create some kind of “news popup” system, where our secretary can publish short updates or content.

Ideally, users would see the news appear _before_ the main menu (see screenshot), and they could tap to close or dismiss it.

So far, I’ve been able to build all the features I needed, but I have to admit I’m stuck on this one.

Regards and thanks 🙂

Could be something as simple as a custom collection pointing to a company news table, filtered by a user specific column. Only show items where the user specific column is empty. When a user marks it as read by filling the user specific columns with some sort of value, then it will filter out of the collection.
