Sign In Messages

Use sign in messages to show important information to users when they sign in.

Use these sparingly to avoid diluting their importance.

For example, you may want to remind users about an upcoming major event, a weather alert, or remind them to review their emergency contact information.

The reader can select:

Message read - a confirmation will be saved in the database and the message disappears.
Show me next time - the message will continue to appear each time the user logs in, until it is acknowledged.

Create a sign in message

Select Core.
Select Communication.
Select Sign in messages.
Select Messages
Select Add sign in message..
Enter a name in the Message name field.

Only platform managers see this name.
Enter a Publish and an Expire date.
Enter the message you would like to appear in the Message detail field.

After a user selects Message read, they won't see the message again, even if it is edited.

If you are posting updates, expire or delete the original message and create a new message.
Select which roles you want to publish these messages to, and select Add to selected roles.
Select Save & exit.

Tip: You can customize various messages and labels throughout the software including "my notifications," sign in, and profile validation. See Custom text, labels, & messages. You may also consider using emergency bulletins for information that should appear as a banner message.
