It will stay at the top of the window until the users acknowledges it, swipes it away or taps the "X" icon (top right). ![UrgentMessage on all 3](https://help.dashboard.hazlnut.com/hs-fs/hubfs/UrgentMessage%20on%20all%203.png?width=550&name=UrgentMessage%20on%20all%203.png) This can be set up from the ‘Locations Manager’ page: 1.
