Instant Messaging

In case of emergencies, text messages can be displayed on all the displays that belong to a single client.

In the Manager, open the Tools menu and select Instant Message.

 

 

This brings up the Instant Message form:

 

 

Enter the text message you would like displayed in the ‘Message’ field.

If you only want the message displayed for a short time, then enter the number of seconds in the ‘Duration’ field.

If you want the message to stay on the screen indefinitely then enable the ‘Retain message’ checkbox. To later clear the message off the displays, uncheck this checkbox, enter a short duration and send the message to the screens again.

You can change the text foreground and background colors by clicking on the color boxes.

To make the text flash, enable the ‘Flashing Text’ checkbox.

Click ‘Send’ to send the message to the displays.
