| 1 | Click the Notices helper. A window opens, displaying the notice text files listed in the default /Unicorn/Notices directory. |
| 2 | If you want to modify the notices for another language, select a language from the drop-down list. The text files listed in the /Unicorn/Notices/[Language] directory display. |

| 2 | If you want to create notice text for another language, select a language from the drop-down list. The text files listed in the /Unicorn/Notices/[Language] directory display. |
Note: The language directory must exist on the server before you can create and save notice text to that directory. Contact your system administrator about creating directories on the server.
| 3 | Click Create. |

The report notice files are found in the default /Unicorn/Notices directory.
It is recommended that no formatting, line wrapping, or justification should be attempted when editing notice text. Hard carriage returns should be used at the end of each line so that notice text will display and print consistently.
Notice texts for the various languages are stored in the /Unicorn/Notices/[Language policy name] directories. When notice reports are run, the reports check the Language field in the user records and pull the notice texts from the specified language directories. The translated notice files must be named the same as the files in the /Notices directory so the system will know which notice text to pull for the report. If the notice text or language directory is not found, the report will pull the corresponding notice file from the default /Unicorn/Notices directory.
