Xibo

Alert Notification feature

Asked by avgeek

Hello,
One of the selling points of Digital Signage systems is the ability to dual purpose the display system as an emergency notification system. Are there any plans to implement this feature into the XIBO software? Ideally there would be the capability to create and execute an alert message that could display on all the screens overriding the current schedule. After the alert has passed, the schedule could continue.

Admins can already schedule an item that overrides the current schedule. After adding an item, editing its schedule exposes a "Priority" tick box that causes that layout to take priority over everything else scheduled.

Because our architecture relies on the clients pulling content from the server, clearly the clients will have to check in with the server before the emergency layout is shown.

Cheers
