Alerts

Alerts Module

Summary: The Alerts feature allows intranet administrators to send attention-grabbing, pop-up messages to all users or specific user roles. Whether it’s announcing benefits changes, sharing a new policy, or directing users to an important page or document, alerts provide a powerful way to ensure key information is seen. This video guide walks through sending two types of alerts—one with a clickable button and one with plain text—as well as managing active alerts.

Features and Benefits:

Two Alert Types

Standard Alert: Delivers a simple message without any clickable elements.

Linked Alert: Includes a button linking to a page, document, or external website.

Customizable Content

Add a title, message, and optional call-to-action button.

Link options include another site page, external website, or uploaded file.

Button appearance is pulled from the site’s global button color settings.

Scheduling Options

Set a start and end date/time to control how long the alert appears on-screen.

Alerts outside this window remain visible in the notification bell until manually dismissed.

Role-Based Targeting

Send alerts to all registered users or target specific roles, allowing for personalized communication.

Persistent Visibility

Users will see the alert as a pop-up upon login or page refresh until they dismiss it or the alert expires.

Alerts remain in the notification bell for continued reference even after the pop-up stops appearing.

Alert Management

View and manage existing alerts via the Current Alerts section.

Edit or delete alerts at any time.

Edited alerts will repopulate to users if still within the active date/time window.
