Headlines are any announcements, bits of news, or pieces of information you want to share with an entire team.
Creating a Headline
The easiest way to create a Headline for any team is via the Quick Create button in the top right.
Click Quick Create in the top-right corner.
Select Headline.
Enter a Title.
Select the Team Space the Headline is for.
Add details or context in the description.
Add attachments, if needed.
Save the Headline.
Once created, the Headline will populate within the receiving team's Headline page, where it can be viewed by all team members.
From there, team members can leave comments, add To Dos off the Headline, plus a whole bevy of other actions from the right action menu.
For teams that run their own L10 meetings, any open Headlines will be automatically pulled into their next L10 agenda for discussion.
Cascading Headlines
Keeping teams informed of major decisions, news, and announcements is critical to any successful organization. Strety's Cascading Headlines feature allows leaders to send Headlines to multiple teams at once, trickling messages down to anyone who needs to know in one motion.
Cascading a new Headline to multiple teams
The fastest way to send a message to multiple teams is via the Quick Create button in the top right.
Click Quick Create in the top-right corner.
Select Headline.
Enter a title and description.
Add attachments, if needed.
Enable Cascade to multiple teams.
Select the team(s) you want to share the Headline with.
Save the Headline.
Once the cascaded Headline is sent, it will appear as a new Headline for any receiving team.
Cascading Headlines from an Agenda/L10
Oftentimes, a Headline may be added to a single team, but once discussed in a team meeting, like an L10, you may want to share the news to other teams or departments.
Open the Headline from the Agenda or L10.
Click the Cascade menu option.
Select the Team Space(s) you want to send the Headline to.
Save the Headline.
Creating Headlines from Issues
The majority of time spent in every L10 meeting centers around the Issues list. This is where teams identify, discuss, and solve (IDS) their most important short-term items. Naturally, some of those decisions or resolutions need to be cascaded up, down, or across the organization to keep everyone aligned.
Open the Issue.
Click the three-dot menu.
Select Create Headline.
The Headline will be auto-populated with the name and description of the Issue.
Note: You can customize the title and description for the recipient teams without it affecting the original title and description of the Issue.
Cascading Headlines: Who Gets Subscribed?
When you cascade a Headline to another space, subscribers are added automatically based on the destination.
Team Space
When a Headline is cascaded to a Team Space, all members of that Team Space are automatically subscribed, including everyone in the full manager chain.
Personal Space
When a Headline is cascaded to a Personal Space, only the following users are automatically subscribed:
The owner of the Personal Space
Their direct manager
Note: Automatic subscriptions are based on the type of space the Headline is cascaded to.
Archiving Headlines
Once everyone is up on the news, you can archive Headlines by clicking the three-dot menu to the right of its title.
Open the Headline.
Click the three-dot menu to the right of its title.
Select the archive option.
Note: Headlines also auto-archive when an L10 meeting is completed.
View any Archived Headlines by clicking the Show Archived button.
Headline Categories
Add an extra layer of organization for your team's Headlines by creating custom categories. Categories can be used to group Headlines in your L10s.
Open the Headlines page.
Click Edit Categories.
Update the existing categories or add new ones.
Save your changes.
