Broadcasting a Message of the Day

A container can be used to broadcast a Message of the Day. The Message of the Day appears as a banner on the container’s dashboard as well as the dashboards of all of its devices and subcontainers.

Do the following steps:

1.  Access the dashboard of the container at the root of the structure you want to broadcast the message to. For example in the previous figure, accessing the dashboard of the Headquarters container broadcasts the message to the Headquarters container, its devices, and all of its subcontainers and devices in the Accounting, Executive Offices, Human Resources, and IT subcontainers.

2.  Select Container Settings under the System Administration menu.

The container’s Settings page is displayed.

3.  Under Container Message, choose the background color for the banner.

4.  Optionally specify a message title.

5.  Provide the message to broadcast.

6.  Click on the Save button to broadcast the message configuration.
