What is a Patron Modal?

The Patron Modal is an alert tool that allows administrators to create an alert and specify where it is to be located on the website. Patrons must close the modal in order to carry on with their task, ensuring that each patron reads the alert. By default the alert will only be displayed once, however administrators can choose to force the message to display each time the page is loaded. These alerts can be used to announce holiday hours, unexpected closures, special events, and more.
