**Xibo** has an existing built in notification system used to keep administrators and users of the CMS informed of system events and other user created notifications.

With 1.8.3 this notification system can now be utilised to create and display messages on your targeted displays using the **Notification Widget**!

Include the **Notification Widget** to your chosen Layouts and Xibo will fetch your messages added to the Notification Centre.

Simply add notification, create your message, target your displays...

...and let **Xibo** handle the rest!
