Agency alert (displays in the site header)

The Agency Alert is a message that, once enabled, displays on every agency page.

  2. In the content tree, expand:
    Content → [Your Agency Site] → Content Modules → Site Header Folder → Site Header



  3. Select the Agency Alert section to configure the alert properties.
  4. Configure the alert by editing the following fields in the Agency Alert section:
    • Enable Agency Alert: Check this box to display the alert at the top of the site.
    • AgencyAlertIcon: Choose an icon to appear with the alert.
    • Alert Title: Enter the title of your alert.
    • Agency Description: Enter the main alert message.
  5. Click the Save icon to apply changes.
  6. Click the Publish tab, then select Publish Content to push the alert live.
