Hi David [davidsizu ],



This is a custom implementation in HI. In the Header widget attached to the theme of the portal, you can make below modification to achieve this.



Server:


- Fetch the systemwide notification properties from the sys_property table.


- If the notification is only for logged in user - use gs.isLoggedIn() to determine if the notification is for guest/authenticated user. Since the header is also visible on the unauthenticated page, you might want to add this check.



Sample code:


              data.securityMessageText = gs.getProperty('systemwide.security.message.text', '');


              data.securityMessageLinkURL = gs.getProperty('systemwide.security.message.linkurl', '');


              data.isLoggedIn = gs.getSession().isLoggedIn();



HTML Template:


- Update the HTML to show the custom announcement banner


- Use the above data properties to show data.



On cancel, we are storing the state in the session so that the message will not appear for the current session of the user.

Hi Vinamra, thank you for your response, it sounds very promising.



I have a question based on this. Are the systemwide notifications properties restricted to ServiceNow personnel access only? Im now able to find it in the sys_properties table neither in Istanbul or Helsinki versions.




Thank you,


David Silva
