Batch Notification Window Warning Message

During the batch notification window, both administration users and non-administration users receive the same warning message as is provided in the ad hoc notification window, as shown in the following figure. The only difference is that no end time is provided as there is no way to know when the batch will finish, and the non-administration user has the same restrictions as in the ad hoc blackout window.
