Announcements:  Each record in the Announcements table is a single item, as displayed by the Announcements Portal Module. Since all Announcement modules store their record in this table, each item contains a ModuleID to permit related items to be retrieved in a single query.

The primary key in this table is the ItemID identity field. Note that announcement descriptions are limited to 2000 characters.
