• The close button looks like an X in the top-right corner of the alert.
• The Title and Description are required.
• Subtitle and URL are optional.
• If a URL is provided for the alert, a Learn More button linked to the URL will be added to the bottom-right of the alert.
• The Date and Time will not be displayed on the alert, regardless of whether a custom date is set.

The differences in the settings for each severity level are described below and an example image of each level is provided for visual reference.
