My Home - Banner Announcement Section

Use the Banner Announcement section (EOHP_SYSALERT_SCTN_LP) to view important alerts such as system down times, holiday closures, or other information that organizations want users to see when they first log in.

Navigation:

The Banner Announcement section appears on a My Home landing page when a user signs in.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Banner Announcement section.

Note:

My Home page displays this section when an important system announcement is in place. The section displays only one system message at a time. When no system message is in place, this section is hidden.

This section displays an announcement sent with the Banner Announcement category in Notification Publisher. It is typically for system-wide distribution. For more information, see Enterprise Components: Setting Up and Publishing Notifications.

Only one system message is displayed at a time when an important system announcement is in place.

When more than one announcement is active, the page displays the announcement with the highest importance. If more than one notification has the same importance level, the earliest created message appears.

If an announcement changes while the user is on this page, the section leverages the PeopleTools Event Aware grouplet functionality, enabling the banner announcement to update without the need to reload the page. For more information on grouplet-based tile styling, see PeopleTools: Portal Technology: "Developing Advanced Sectionalized Homepages and Dashboards," Designing Sections and Tile.
