Access Secure Notifications

The Secure Notification Banner displays alerts, warnings, and informational messages from Cambium Assessment, Inc. (CAI). The banner displays at the top of every page in Authoring when active notifications are published. Often, the messages will contain time-sensitive information. These secure notifications can only be accessed after logging in to Authoring.

Note: All user roles can view all secure notifications. Only CAI staff can add notifications to Authoring.

Distinguishing Notification Types

Notification types are differentiated by an icon and the background color.

• Informational notifications are marked with and appear over blue backgrounds.

• Warnings are marked with and appear over yellow backgrounds.

• Alerts are marked with and appear over red backgrounds.

Interacting with Secure Notifications

Active notifications appear each time you log in to Authoring and can be dismissed once read. However, depending on how you dismiss the notification, the same notification may display the next time you log in if it is during the notification’s scheduled display period. Review information about Mark as Read and the Close icon to understand the difference.

Mark as Read removes the notification from the top of the page and closes the notification window if open. These notifications can be viewed again by clearing your browser cache during the scheduled display period for the individual notification or if the same notification is unpublished and republished by CAI.

View More displays a window with the full contents of the notification.

The Close icon removes the notification from the top of the page for the duration of your active session and closes the notification window if open. Notifications closed using this icon return when you refresh the page or the next time you log in during the scheduled display period for the individual notification.

The Arrows move to the next or previous notification. Only appears when multiple notifications are active, indicated by current/total notifications beside the notification name.
