The “Distribution Channels” main page displays the announcement types, their designated approval process and where they are currently set to be distributed.
Options within Distribution Channels:
The Approval Process has three options you can choose for distributing your news.
Authorise: If the “Authorise” option is set, each time an ASX announcement is lodged via ASX Online, IRM Newsroom will send an email asking you to release, edit or reject the announcement.
Auto: The “Auto” option will automatically release the announcement using the settings that you have elected in the Newsroom set up. This allows announcements to be distributed with no user input. However, you will receive email notification when this process has been completed.
Ignore: The “Ignore” option will disregard the announcement and place it directly into the historic announcements table within the Authorise screen.
To set up or change the Approval Process settings
In this example, we have chosen all ASX AGM Announcements to be set as “Authorise.”
Once you have determined the “Approval Process” option, hit the “Save” button.
Please note: For more information about each of the processes, please refer to the Newsroom Overview section.
