Emergency article

The Crisis News template is part of the intranet's crisis function.

In case of a major crisis, you can activate the intranet's crisis function. By creating and publishing a crisis news item in the Crisis Information repository, a red banner will appear under the header of all intranet pages for all users.

When the crisis is over, unpublish the crisis news and the banner will disappear.

The crisis news uses the Crisis news page template.
