In carousel, bulletins are the messages that will display on your digital signage. The steps below describe the process of creating an Alert Bulletin

> ⚠️ 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.

## Creating an Alert Button

1. [Login to Carousel](https://uconn.carouselsignage.net/Carousel/login)
2. Choose the desired zone for the alert bulletin to be posted in.
3. Click **New Bulletin**.
