Custom Banners
Cribl admins can define a custom banner from the Leader. This will be displayed at the top of your Cribl Organization, above all Cribl apps. You can display one banner at a time.
Your banner can display warnings, requirements, neutral updates, or good news about new features or options. It can contain a mixture of text, a raw URL, or a URL with a friendly/short label. The banner does not appear unless you enable and configure it, as described here.
- In the sidebar, select Settings > Global.
- Select System > Custom Banner.
- Toggle Enable banner on to expose the configuration options.
- From the Background color dropdown, select a background color for your banner. You can also pick a custom color by selecting +Add color in the dropdown.
- Optionally, toggle Invert front color to Yes to make the text on the banner white instead of black (typically, for darker custom banner colors).
- In the Banner message field, enter a single-line message of up to 1,024 characters. (The displayed banner will truncate characters that cannot fit across one line of a given viewport.)
- In the Link URL field, optionally enter a hyperlink to append to the message.
- In the Link display field, optionally give your Link URL a text label. This can include up to 512 characters, but a long label can force-truncate the Banner message. A short label can help everything fit.
- Select Save to display your banner.
- Commit your changes from the Leader.
To hide the banner, toggle the Enable banner off, and again Save and commit your changes. Your banner’s configuration will remain intact, ready to re-enable and/or revise when you’re ready.
