    1. fill up the 'alarm text' and 'alarm type' fields that will appear on the alarm box on the page

    2. alarm type could be 'information' , 'warning' and 'error' that will show up in 'blue', 'yellow' and 'red' color in order

  4. don't forget to 'Publish' all the files

Notice: if the _index-alarm folder is empty nothing will show up on the page

To apply a link within the "alarm text" message:

  1. Make sure you are in Edit mode

  2. Copy and paste this pattern, to where the clickable text will be, inside the "alarm text" box.
