Whenever a maintenance
activity is scheduled, we use to publish message in the sign on page to
intimate the users rather than sending mails. I remember every time an activity
is scheduled, the login page HTML file (signin.html)
residing in web server needs to be
edited, which requires a minimal knowledge of HTML scripting. Moreover web
server bounce is required to get the changes reflected in front end.
Guys using People tools 8.51 and later don’t need to worry
about this, as there is a new feature with tools release 8.51 onwards where we
have an option to configure display message via PIA itself and it does not
require any code changes. In a single stretch you can create list of messages
and you can set the time frame to display that specific message.
Navigate to People Tools > Utilities > Administration > Shutdown Msg
(PT 8.53),
Click on the plus button to create
new message and View/Edit hyper link to edit the existing message.
Once you click the plus button, you
will find a space to post your message and also you can find an option to
specify when and how long the message should be displayed.
