CML Notices¶
CML allows administrators to inform other users about important upcoming or ongoing events. Notices are shown on the top of CML page for every related user separately until acknowledged by a user (except Maintenance Banner - see below).
A notice will not be shown to any user after creation unless you click Enabled to enable it. While a notice is not Enabled, the administrator can edit the notice with no effect on other users. The administrator can also edit a notice while it is Enabled but after doing so the notice will be re-enabled for all users, including users who have already acknowledged it.
The administrator can assign a notice to a specific Group(s) of users. Only users in the chosen groups will see the notice and be able to acknowledge it. If no group is selected the notice will be shown to all users.
Both Label and Content are visible when the notice is enabled. Write a short headline in the Label field and details in the Content field. Set the importance in the Level field and the notice color will be set according to your choice.
Once the user acknowledges a notice, it will not appear again. Users can see their Acknowledgments on the Settings page` (see Notice Management). If the administrator disables and enables the notice, all Acknowledgments will be reset.
