# Managing Custom Banner Notifications in Primo VE

To include an alert banner message in your institution's Primo VE discovery interface, simply fill out the information for your university in **[this spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ycVxLuY5LYwsFbGX-n_TlJPAF-wI73Lf_aJiZKzm0vI/edit#gid=0)**.

Below is an example of the fields you may configure.

- For "Message", type the information you wish to display in the banner message.
- For "link", include a URL if applicable. You may leave this field blank.
- For "expirationdate", set the end date for when you want the message to expire.
- You may ignore the remaining fields as they are used by the backend to determine how and when messages are displayed.
