Add an Alert to a Navigator website (written instructions)

Ensure that you are logged into your website. The black admin toolbar will be visible at the top of the screen. Learn how to login to your website.

Hover your mouse over +New in the admin toolbar, and select Alert from the drop-down that appears.

You are now in the Add New Alert section of the dashboard. Add a simple title to explain briefly to your patients the nature of the alert.

In the Description box, add further relevant information. NOTE: do not add large blocks of clinical information. Instead, use the boxes below to link to relevant external sources like the NHS website, where necessary.

If you would like to add a link, use the Primary website link box to add the URL for the site you want to link to.

Use the Primary website link text box to add meaningful link text, which explains to your patients where the link will take them. Learn to write meaningful link text.

When you are happy with the content of your alert, select the blue Publish button in the Publish box.

Your Alert will now be published under the Important messages heading on your Home page.

When patients select the Alert, they will be able to read the details you wrote in the Description box.
