How to Hide a Dismissed ShortPoint Alert After a Page Refresh

This article will make sure the Alerts that the users have dismissed will no longer disturb them after a page is refreshed. Starting from 6.9.35 version, ShortPoint SPFx will remember if a user has already closed an alert, and not show it during further page visits. 


Let's have a closer look at this feature.


TABLE OF CONTENTS


Prerequisites

  • You have a ShortPoint Alert Design Element on your page or as a part of your company's footer. Check our ShortPoint Alerts Design Element article to get more familiar with this design element.
  • You have ShortPoint version 6.9.35.x or higher installed. Click here to check and download the latest available version of ShortPoint.

Settings


Open the Settings tab of your ShortPoint Alert.



Click the turn-on/turn-off button to enable the Show Dismiss Button. It will add a cross icon button to hide the Alert message.



The additional option Remember Dismissed Alerts will open. Click the turn-on/turn-off button to enable it to. 



You may click the Preview button to check how your alert(s) will look like or continue editing. After you're done, click Update and save your page.



Note: Remember dismissed alerts feature works on a user-by-user case. So, if there are several people in your team or organization, closing the alert will dismiss it from the page only for those users who actually closed it. The rest will still see it until they also close it.

Results

That's it. Now, after you click to hide the alert it won't appear again on the page after you refresh it:
