Managing announcement banners

How to add and manage announcement banners

Announcement banners show up at the top of your site until a site visitor dismisses it. Announcement banners are applied site-wide and cannot be applied to specific pages.

Note that Content Editors and Site Administrators can add and manage announcement banners. 

Step 1: Enter announcement text

1. Navigate to Announcement Banner Settings (under Site Settings for Site Administrators; in the main menu for Content Editors).
2. Select the Expand control to display the Announcement Banner section.
3. Enter the information you wish to display in the announcement banner in the Content field, adding text formatting and links as needed.

Step 2: Choose display options

1. The default icon for announcements is the “announcement” icon, but you can choose another icon to display before the announcement text. Note that the Icon field is an “autocomplete” input. Type a few letters and then select your icon from the dropdown list of matching icons. You can review available icon options from the Material Design Icon List.
2. Select a Color Scheme for the announcement banner. Note that the selected color scheme will only apply to the announcement banner.
3. To enable an announcement banner, select the Enable Announcement Banner checkbox.

Step 3: Save announcement banner settings

1. Note that up to two (2) announcement banners can be enabled at once. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 to add an additional announcement banner.
2. Click Save Configuration.
