This module allows you to display popup messages to your users during logon.
Filter:
Select the name of the filter you want assigned to this configuration element.
Window Title:
Enter the text you want displayed as the message box title.
Message:
Enter the text you want displayed in the message box.
Style:
This parameter defines the style of the message box.
Timeout:
You can configure message boxes to wait for user acknowledgement or to close automatically after a specified amount of time elapses. This parameter represents the number of seconds after which to close the message box. If you do not want the message box to automatically close, enter 0 seconds.
Schedule:
Choose the schedule your message box should display on.
Frequency:
Choose the frequency your message box should display on.
UID:
The UID is a unique identifier that is automatically generated by Script Start. Normally, the UID does not need to be changed. Changing the UID will reset the display history associated with the message box. For example, if you chose a frequency of One Time (User) and you want the message box to display a second time, changing the UID will cause the message box to display again. This option does not apply if you choose a Frequency of Every Logon.
Tracking Path:
The Tracking Path designates the UNC name of the network share Script Start will use to store display history. When you create the share, you will need to grant write permission to all users using Script Start. If this share is unavailable or does not have write permission, Script Start will not display the message box. This option does not apply if you choose a Frequency of Every Logon.
NOTE: Inside the share Script Start will create a folder named after the UID of the message box. Therefore, it is safe to use the same share as the Tracking Path for multiple message boxes. If you wish to reset the execution history for a message box, you can delete the folder associated with the message box's UID.
Example:
Filter: Global Settings
Window Title: Weekly Staff Meeting Reminder
Message: The weekly staff meeting is scheduled to take place at 1:30PM in the conference room.
Style: Informational
Timeout: 10
Schedule: Weekly on Monday
Frequency: Every Logon
The above example will display the message box titled Weekly Staff Meeting Reminder every Monday at every logon. If the user fails to acknowledge the message box, it will automatically close after being displayed for 10 seconds.
