The login banner shows a title and a message to users when they sign in to PADS4. Use it for announcements that every user must see, such as planned maintenance or a change in policy. You set up the banner in PADS4 CTRL Center.

Before you begin

  • You need access to the Config application in PADS4 CTRL Center.
  • Decide on the title (up to 200 characters) and the message (up to 4000 characters). All users see the banner, so check the text before you save it.
