Set a Banner Message in the Global Header

Let's say you want to communicate some important information to your users. You can set a banner message to display such information in the global header. But here are a few things to keep in mind.

• The banner message doesn't support translation. It will be only in English.

• Oracle may override your banner message if required.

To set a banner message, do these tasks:

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the Manage Administrator Profile Values task in the Application Extensions functional area.

2. Search for the Banner Message (FND_BANNER_MESSAGE) profile option.

3. In the FND_BANNER_MESSAGE: Profile Values section, click the New icon.

4. From the Profile Level list, select Site.

5. In the Profile Value field, enter the message that you want to show in the global header.

   Note: The length of your message must not exceed 1000 characters. If your message has more than 77 characters, only the first 77 characters are displayed on the global header, and the complete message appears when you hover over the banner.

6. Click Save and Close.

7. Sign out and sign back in to see the banner message.
