If you select the (Details) link near each main heading, you will be shown a list of the announcement types that exist within this particular category.

For example, the ASX AGM category will contain the below announcements:
 

 

The Distribution Channels main page displays the announcement types, their selected approval process and where they are currently set to be distributed.
 

Options within Distribution Channels:

The Approval Process is broken down into three options. See below
 

Authorise: If Authorise is selected, each time an ASX announcement is lodged via ASX Online; IRM Newsroom will send you 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 selected 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

Under IRM Newsroom select Distribution Channels from the left hand side menu.
 

 

Select the main heading under Type for the announcement group you would like to set up or amend.
 

 

As shown in the screen below you will be taken to this page where you are able to switch between the Approval Process settings.

In this example we have chosen all ASX AGM Announcements to be set as Authorise.

Once you have selected the Approval Process option, select the Save button.
