Add or remove a maintenance message

Add a message to the alerts banner to help users stay informed of upcoming maintenance.

1. Click Manage > Configuration > System, and select Advanced Settings.
2. Type Glass.maintenanceMessage in the Key field.
   Tip: You must match the case as shown.
3. Enter your maintenance message in the Value field.

   For example, type Our servers will be down for maintenance this Saturday between 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. in the Value field.

   As another example, a message in the alert banner is written in English, but the users speak mainly Spanish. As the System Administrator, you replace the message with a translated version.

4. If you want to remove a maintenance message, follow these steps:
   1. Type Glass.maintenanceMessage in the Key field.
   2. Click in the Value field.
      Tip: Even if a value is already set, it does not appear until you click in the field.

      The current maintenance message appears.

   3. Delete the message in the Value field.
5. Click Apply.
6. Refresh your browser window.

Depending on which setting you chose, your message appears in, or is removed from, the alerts banner.
