UConn staff can create alert bulletins on Carousel. Below is a how-to video, as well as a written step-by-step.

The purpose of this article is NOT to use the alert feature outlined here as a function of emergency alerts; this is only to display a single bulletin without having the other bulletins be displayed for a pre-determined time.

  1. Login to Carousel
  2. Choose the desired zone for the alert bulletin to be posted in.
  3. Click New Bulletin.

  5. Upload your content to the template.

  6. Click on the Schedule tab.
