Add an Alert List Component

If you are using the Advocacy application, the Alert List component can link to all vote positions that have associated action alerts, as well as link to alerts and action alerts created through the traditional Advocacy pathway. This component can only display Vote Positions, Call Alerts, and Action Alerts associated with a particular Issue. You can use the component to sort your display by Priority, Publish Date, or Expire Time.

To add an Alert List Component to a PageBuilder page:

  1. Create and publish at least one Action Alert, Call Alert, or Vote Position using the Advocacy application.

  2. Create or edit the page in which you want to place the list component.

  3. Click , Components.

  4. Select Advocacy > Alert List. The Embedded Component Selector for Alert Lists window opens.

  5. Select a Region. Choices include:

    • All Alerts – displays all action alerts created in Advocacy, Call Alerts, and any alerts created as part of a Vote Position.
    • National Alerts – displays all alerts that have not been restricted to specific states; includes Call Alerts and all alerts created as part of a Vote Position.
    • Constituent’s State Alerts – displays only alerts targeted to the home state of the constituent; does not include alerts created as part of a Vote Position.

      • The constituent must be logged in or supply zip code information to determine the home state.

    • All State Alerts – includes all alerts that are targeted to one or more specific states; does not include alerts created as part of a Vote Position.
    • A Specific State – includes only alerts targeted to the selected state; does not include alerts created as part of a Vote Position.

  6. Select a Maximum Number of Links to Show. You can link to all of your alerts or limit the display to 30 or fewer.

  7. Choose whether or not to limit the display of alerts to those associated with a specific Issue. Select the Issue from the drop-down.

  8. Either accept the default option for each of these additional items or click the appropriate radio button to select a different option:

    • If the user is not Logged In, choose whether to show alerts for all states or only federal alerts.
    • If the user has already taken action on an alert, choose whether to show or hide that alert.
    • Choose whether to include the Alert Descriptions.
    • Choose whether to sort your display by Priority, Expire Time, or Publish Time.
    • Choose where to place the alert link. You can make the alert title the name of the link or display the Take Action link beside the alert title.
