Messages

The messages tool is where you can publish operational messages. The messages will be visable on the home page of NAV.

The messages tool has four tabs, where the three first displays messages (and lets you edit them), the last tab is for adding new messages:

Active: Shows a list of all active messages. An active message is a message that currently is displayed onm the NAV home page
Planned: Shows a list of all planned messages. A planned message has not yet reached its “publish from” timestamp.
Historic: Shows a list of all historic messages. A historic message is a message that is expired, i.e. the “publish to” timestamp is passed.
Create new: This is the place for adding a new message.
