Communicate important information to your users by adding an announcement banner to the top of your Refined site. You can show banners on an entire sit, category, or service desk portal. For Jira Service Management, it can also be shown on the login page.
Adding Announcement Banners
Site and category homes
Only Jira Administrators and Refined Administrators can add Announcement banners on site homes and category homes.
On the Refined Site, click settings in the top right corner > Announcements.
The dialog shows an overview of the current announcements. You can edit them using the settings icon next to the announcement.
Service desk portals
Only project agents and project administrators can add Announcement banners to service desk portals.
Go to the Project page > Refined Customer Portal.
Click the tab Announcements tab.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Message | The message of your announcement. |
Location | The announcement banner shows up on the site, category or service desk you select, and on all its child pages. |
Published | The banner is not visible on your site until you check this box to publish it. |
Closeable | By default, active banners always stay visible while users browse the site. If you check this box, users can close the banner. |
Type | You can choose one of four banner types: warning, alert, info, and announcement. The icon and banner colour change depending on the banner type. You can adjust the colours of the banners with custom CSS, to let them match your organisation’s colour profile. Read more below. |
Changing the colour or your banners
While we do not provide a configuration tool to change the look of your banner, we've made it possible to change the colour per type using CSS. Banner colours are set on a global level, so any changes you make to the banners will apply to all banners of that type on your entire site.
Each banner type has a CSS class, for example class="rw_announcement_banner rw_type_warning". Find the class using the inspector tool of your browser.
Set the colour of your banner using the class.
Add the CSS to Refined Administration > Themes & Styles > Custom CSS and HTML.
Refined is not supporting issues caused by custom CSS or HTML.
