Show maintenance notices

When users log in the platform 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.

Maintenance notice

To display additional maintenance information, the user can click on the ? Help button in the top left-hand corner of the popup. This will open a link that the administrator can configure.

By default, the maintenance window in the UI will have a status of scheduled, in progress, or finished. The platform determines this status automatically from the dates set by the administrator.

To customize the maintenance states, change the UI labels for maintenance.status.
For example, to change the scheduled label to planned, modify the label text as follows: "maintenance.status.not_started" : "planned".
For details of how to create custom UI labels, see Abiquo UI client language configuration.
