Announcement Banner
OpenCloud 7.4.0 includes an announcement banner feature.
Administrators can use the announcement banner to notify all users about important information, for example upcoming maintenance windows, service interruptions, or other system-wide announcements.
The banner is displayed at the top of the OpenCloud web interface.
Open Admin Settings
To configure the announcement banner, open the Admin Settings app.
- Click the app switcher icon in the top-right corner.
- Select Admin Settings.
