In Application Messaging
This Tool provides Vendor Ops users the ability to control the content and style of In Application Messaging as well as its position. The three areas where the In Application Messages are made available and dynamic are:
- Wizards
- Data Entry Page
- Home Page
To customise the messages, a setting screen is created and made available on Tools > Customisation > Floating Advert. This includes separate tabs on each of the three areas mentioned above:
Homepage Settings
Homepage advertisement inform users when an upgrade has been initiated. Its availability depends on the set period identified in the Duration Weeks field (i.e. one to four weeks, or a specified number of days).
(Hover over to see sample image on its settings.)
This Message appears only at the top of the main screen. This can be closed but will re-appear again after log-in, depending on the specified duration period. Below are example details this advertisement could provide:
- Upgrade version number and date
- Short explanation of Enhancement and Defect
- Warning and Close Advert icons
