In-page notices are used to contextually inform users of important information on a content page.

## When to use In-page notices

### Do

- Use In-page notices on standard content pages or landing pages. On landing pages use the Two thirds / Third - Large gutter section layout only because using the alert on a Full-width section creates readability issues.
- Use a short, descriptive heading – maximum of 75 characters.
- Keep the alert text short and to the point. Use sentence case in paragraph format. Do not include subheadings. Text has a limit of 250 characters.
- Add an In-page notices to the body of your page to highlight important information for the audience.
- Display the alert in context and at an appropriate time and place in the page flow.
- Make sure any expired alerts are removed.
- Keep number of In-page notices per section to a minimum – preferably 1 alert per group of related content.
- In-page notices should be placed at the top of the section that it relates to. If it relates to the page as a whole, place it at the top of the page directly under the title and summary text or hero banner.

### Don't

- Don't use In-page notices to highlight important information for a limited time only. Use a [callout](https://nsw-gov-au-help-hub.refined.site/space/HHK/601784714/Adding+a+Callout+block+on+a+page) for temporary messages.

## Creating the notice as a Notice item

Before an In-page notice can be added on a page, it must first be created as a Notice item.

To create a Notice item, go to **Content >** **Notices >** **Add Notice** then fill in the fields as needed. Select **In-page notice **as the variant.

1. Provide the **Admin** label. This is mandatory.
2. Select the variant as **In-page notice**.
3. Provide the **Heading**. The text given in the heading will form part of the text in the final banner.
4. Add the remaining text in the **Body** and provide the required formatting.
  - 140 characters (including text link) is the recommended limit in the ‘Body’.
5. Add any internal or external links using **Links**: Content or Managed Links respectively.
6. Select the **Editorial Group**. This is mandatory. More than one group can be added.
7. Save as **Published**.
8. Click **Save**.

**Note:**

- Only the tagged Editorial Group will be able to edit or delete the notice through the Notices entity. Content editors will not be able to tag a different Editorial group when creating a notice.
- Content editors with notices view permission will be able to view all notices.

## Add an In-page notice on page

### Landing page
