Creating Alerts
In your catapult Dashboard, you’ll see a button on the top right that says ‘Alerts'. You will only be able to see this button if you have been given access to it.
You can always change or add user permissions by going into the ‘Users’ tab and adding the ‘Alerts’ permission to a current user
In the 'Alerts' tab, click on ‘load alerts’, then on the green ‘New Alert’ button. Here, you will be given 5 alert types to choose from: Default, Info, Success, Warning, and Emergency. All alerts work the same, the only difference is the color and icon. The default alert type is the only one that allows you to change the icon to a photo or YouTube video. After you select an alert type, you can still go back and change it by using the drop down menu in the top right corner next to the ‘Title’ text box.
From there you can fill out the 'Title' and ‘Content’ text boxes, decide if you want the post to be scheduled or saved as a draft, add documents, and choose which sites you would like the alert to be sent to.
Once your alert is finished, click on the green ‘Save Alert’. This will take you to your queue where you can see and manage all your alerts.
That’s it! All your active alerts will then show up on the homepage of your selected sites.
Happy Editing!
