Configuring Platform Announcements
Platform Announcements enable services to have a pop-up message visible to the end-user.
...
Go to Site Admin → Organization → Announcement → Add another announcement
Include a title
Include the announcement text
Select Show
Save
If you want to remove the announcement at a later stage, you need to deselect the “show” option
Block platform usage entirely (“Maintenance Mode“)
Sometimes is it might be needed to block all platform usage entirely , so that the users can not use the platform.
While this is not supported with the Platform Announcements feature, there is a workaround available to prevent users from using the platform when they see the Platform Announcement.
To enable a maintenance mode
Configure a platform Announcement like as described above
Add this snippet to the Organization → Custom Script Extra script:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<style> /* ** Maintenance Mode Script ** **/ <style> .kt-button { display:none; } body{ pointer-events: none; } </style> |
To disable a maintenance mode
Remove the snipped again from the Custom Script Extra script.
Disable the platform announcement
Displaying a constant Header or Footer
While there is no dedicated functionality to display a constant header or footer on all pages of the application, there is the possibility to show a header or footer with the help of a custom JavaScript on all pages once a user has logged in.
...
The custom script needs to be inserted into the admin panel at
Home › B3_Organization › Organizations › <YOUR ORGANIZATION> › Extra script
...
Here is an example script that can be adjusted to fit your needs.
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|

<script>
let title = "Banner title"
let msg = "This is the banner text"
let make = (...args) => document.createElement(...args);
let makeText = (...args) => document.createTextNode(...args);
function announce() {
var div = make('div');
div.id = 'announcement';
div.style = `

var script = document.querySelector('script');
