Banners

What are Banners?

Banners are a quick, visual way to share important communications with your people. They appear on the Home screen in Ocasta, helping you highlight key messages the moment users log in.

You can choose where the banner component sits on the Home screen within the Admin area.

Banners can link to:

• A news post
• An article
• A course
• An app
• An external webpage

Users can scroll through banners anytime, from anywhere. They’re ideal for promoting company events, campaigns, important updates or timely announcements.
