h) Experimenting with Urgent Cast
Urgent Cast is a unique feature built in to the Web Content Manager that allows administrators of the
WebDT Systems to broadcast urgent messages throughout all or selected panels at the same time.
You can access the Urgent Cast feature by clicking on the Urgent Cast link under the Systems menu.
Start by selecting a group that you wish to broadcast the same message to (You can also click on
“Group” instead of any individual grouping if you wish to broadcast to all players).
Type your urgent message under the “Text” field. You can also cut and paste onto that section.
Type in duration in seconds.
You can also change the speed, position, font and background color at this point if you wish.
Select a background audio or select some multimedia content at this point if you wish.
Click on preview to have this displayed on your pre selected media player. Once you are satisfied with
the result, click on “Publish” to make this urgent broadcast message effective immediately.
When we reached the scheduled date/time, the player will start downloading and playing the content
automatically. The download may take a while depending on your uploaded media size and playlist.
