Panel Banners

2 min read

Panel Banners let you show custom banners in different sections of The Smart DMS — like above the top bar, on the login screen, or after the reset password form. These banners are useful for showing announcements, system notices, reminders, or links.

How to Create a Banner #

Follow these steps to create and customize a banner:

1. Open the Create Banner Modal #

Go to the Panel Banners section
Click the Create button
A modal will appear with 4 tabs: General, Styling, Link, and Scheduling

2. Fill in the General Tab #

In this tab, set the basic details of the banner:

Banner Name: Internal title for your reference
Content: The message or announcement you want to show
Render Location: Where the banner should appear. You can choose:
- Top of the header
- Start or end of any page
- Before or after login, register, reset password forms
- Before or after the global search bar
Scope: Limit the banner to specific pages or resources if needed
Options:
- Allow the banner to be closed by the user
- Truncate the banner content if it’s too long
Status: Choose whether the banner is active or not

3. Customize the Styling #

Use the Styling tab to change the look of the banner:

Text Color
Icon and its color
Background Color (can be solid or gradient)

4. Add a Link (Optional) #

If you want the banner to link somewhere:

Go to the Link tab
Set the URL
Choose whether it should open in a new tab
Select the mode:
- Make the whole banner clickable
- Or add a button inside the banner
