Agency and global alerts

There are two types of alerts you can add to your agency site:

• Agency alert: displays at the very top of every page on your site in a bright yellow banner.
• Banner alert: displays within the page body as a component in a light yellow box. It appears only on the specific page where you add it.

Agency alert (site-wide header alert)

The agency alert appears at the top of every page on your agency’s site. It does not display on any other agency sites.

NOTE: This alert is activated only for your specific agency site and will not appear on any other agency sites. It only shows on your agency pages.
