Log-In Announcements and Planned Downtime Messages

Before planned client downtime, Cerner Support pushes a notification that is displayed in portal log-in page announcements. When you select Admin Tasks > Manage System Settings from the menu bar, if you see a downtime message in a portal announcement body setting, do not edit, delete, or insert text before the downtime message. You can edit the text that is after the downtime message. Cerner Support removes the downtime message when it no longer applies. 

Note: The maximum character limit (including spaces) that can be displayed in the portal announcement body on the log-in page is 1855.
