Abiquo can display a notification of a planned maintenance window to all users. Users can acknowledge the popup and request that the platform does not display it again, and this preference is stored in cookies.
The maintenance window can have a status of scheduled, in progress, or finished.
To customize the maintenance states as UI labels, for example, "maintenance.status.not_started" : "Planned", change the UI label text. See Abiquo UI Client Language Configuration.
The platform also displays a maintenance notice link at the bottom of the screen.
To display the maintenance popup, the user can click on the Help question mark button in the top left-hand corner of the popup.

- Go to Configuration → Dashboard
