- CMS Helpdesk Used to notify an editor(s) directly via email.
- Sitewide Alert
- CMS Notification System
Sitewide Alerts (formerly Site Alerts) appear onscreen for ALL CMS users in real time. They do not require a page reload. They are refreshed on a 15 second AJAX interval. This leverages the Drupal Sitewide Alert module. These only show in the CMS. They do not ever appear on VA.gov.
Sitewide alerts are managed in two places:
- /admin/config/sitewide_alerts for global settings
- /admin/content/sitewide_alert for individual alerts
These can be added/edited by humans but are also added and removed by our Build-Release-Deploy System.
CMS Helpdesk has guidance on when and how to use them.
