      After you enter the message and click OK, administrators who subsequently log in, and active administrators who refresh their browsers, see the new or updated message immediately; a commit isn’t necessary.

Based on the commit time that your message specifies, the administrators can then decide whether to complete, save, or undo their changes.
   4. (Optional) Select Allow Do Not Display Again (default is disabled) to give administrators the option to suppress a message of the day after the first login session. Each administrator can suppress messages only for his or her own login sessions. In the message of the day dialog, each message will have its own suppression option.

   6. Set the background color and Icon.

      A bright background color and contrasting text color can increase the likelihood that administrators will notice and read a banner. You can also use colors that correspond to classification levels in your organization.
