The VAS PULSE Platform team is able to post an alert when there is a system outage or upcoming downtime for system maintenance. These system messages are displayed at the top of PULSE screen, and you can click the X to the far right to close the message once you've read it. It will be displayed again if you refresh your browser window or log out and back in to PULSE.
