Banners
Banners provide a way of displaying scrolling messages on your dashboards in real time, without needing to republish or have agents refresh their page.
To access the Banners page, select Banners from the Dashboard Management panel.
Page layout
The page is split into three areas.
| Area | Description |
|---|---|
| Banner list | The left-hand panel, showing all banners available on your system. |
| Banner Details tab | Where you create and edit banners. |
| Usage Information pane | Shows where the selected banner is currently in use across your dashboards. |
Filtering and creating banners
Across the top of the page you can filter the banner list by Active, Inactive, or All.
To create a new banner, select Create New. To edit an existing banner, select it from the list on the left — its details will load in the Banner Details tab. Once you have made your changes, select Save to save new or updated banners.
Banner details
