📱 How Guests View Announcements in the Mobile App​

Once a announcement is published, it becomes visible to users through the AvantEase Guest App. Here’s how your guests will experience announcements:

  1. Announcements on the app When a guest logs into the app and they are on the home page, they can click the Explore card to navigate to the page, and there they will see a carousel (slide view) of all published announcements, each displaying the main information such as the title, date, and location.

  2. Viewing Announcement Details When a guest taps on a announcement, they are taken to a detailed view that may include:

    • The full content of the announcement

    • A location icon button that links to the location, if configured in the admin panel.

    • Images or media associated with the announcement

    • A Call-to-Action (CTA) button at the bottom, if configured in the admin panel. This button reflects the CTA title and link set by the staff (e.g., "Reserve Now", "Learn More") and allows guests to take direct action.

    • An Enquiry button at the bottom, to send a message to the staff.

Announcements Interaction
