   1. 'Content'

      4. 'Show also for subitems?' - if selected, the notification will be available also for subitems of the current context.
      5. 'Dissmissable' - check this field if you want users to be able to dismiss the notification. If unchecked, the message will display until it's end date, or it is manually deleted from the notifications centre.
      6. 'Start date' - use this field to define the date and time that the notification will show from.

These can be set up in the Users and Groups settings of your Haiku site. Note: 'Authenticated Users (Virtual Group)' is selected by default and means your notification will be shown to any user logged into the site. Deselect this option if you wish to show the notification to a specific user(s) or portal roles.
