Alerts are managed in the Alerts group. Two types of blurbs are in place and can be used together or separately for time sensitive communications.
Blurb scheduler interface
Scheduling alerts
Note that content can be set to go live and expire at preset times. When you add a notification or alert, consider how long it should remain showing on the site. For example, a notification about a snow closing on Thursday should disappear at the end of that day.
To remove an alert manually, set it to Hidden or delete it. “Hidden” blurbs, like all other hidden LiveWhale content, will not appear on any public-facing page of your site.
Notification banners
Notification banners are created in the blurb type “Notification banner - homepage only or sitewide.” By default banners are shown on every page of the site. The default banner looks like this:
Home page with pink sitewide notice showing inclement weather message
Adding the tag “Emergency Alert” will change the banner to red:
Red sitewide notification bar appearing on the Visit page
To set a notification banner to appear on the homepage only, add the tag “homepage only” to the blurb.
