Test messages are maintenance tools used to simplify the maintenance process so that sign repair teams do not need to configure messages themselves.

What you should know

  • Test messages are for maintenance purposes only. When a sign is in maintenance mode, only test messages can be activated on it.
  • You can only have one test message in a DMS entity's private message library at a time.

Procedure

  1. From the Config Tool home page, open the Area view task.
  2. Under Maintenance, click .
  3. Configure your message:
    Alignment
    Select an alignment for the message text
    Text color
    Select a text color for the message
    Background color
    Select a background color for the message.
    Placeholders
    Add dynamic information to a message. For more information, see Placeholders in the Digital Signage Management plugin.
    Priority
    Select if this message should override other messages activated on signs. For more information, see Message ranks and priorities in the Digital Signage Management plugin.
    Preview all
    Select for the preview pane to cycle through the message text of all configured pages. If the message only has one page, this selection has no effect.
    Message text
    Enter the message text for each of your message's pages.
  4. Click OK.
    The test message is displayed as a string in the Test message field.
