# Banners
The Banner Management feature allows you to display customizable messages or images to users. These banners can be configured to appear either on the login page (before a user authenticates) or within the user portal (after a user logs in). You can define a name, a start and end date, visibility options, and an active status toggle for each banner. This is useful for sharing announcements, reminders, or policy updates with specific audiences.
**Prerequisites**:
To configure a banner, ensure you have the following:
* **Image Files**: You can upload up to five images. They must be in JPEG, PNG, or JPG format and have a maximum file size of 500 KB each.
* **Filenames**: Each image filename can be up to 30 characters long.
* **Targeting Conditions**: For banners shown After Login, you can set conditions using user attributes such as User Type (e.g., "Employee") or Department (e.g., "HR"). You can use AND/OR logic to create complex rules.
#### Configuration Steps for Banner:
**Step 1: Create a New Banner**
1. Navigate to the Configurations section.
2. Click on Add Banner.
**Step 2: Define Banner Details**
1. Enter a descriptive Name for the banner.
2. Set the Start Date and End Date to control when the banner is active.
**Step 3: Select Banner Visibility**
Choose whether the banner should appear Before Login or After Login.
**After Login Banner:**
* **Upload**: Click to upload an image file. You can use drag-and-drop or a manual upload.
* **URL**: Enter a URL to redirect users to a specific page when they click the banner.
* **Conditions**: Apply a set of conditions based on user attributes to ensure the banner is only displayed to a targeted group of users.
