Ticker Tape

Ticker Tape is a simple way to broadcast unobtrusive messages to workstations spread over one or more sites - it's ideal for Help Desks or Administrators wanting to proactively advise people of issues affecting one or more locations.

Ticker Tape is most useful when other means of communication are unavailable due to policies or outages. It's intuitive administrative interface allows you to choose from a range of predefined messages, construct your own or control the agent software

The light-weight Ticker Tape agent installed on each workstation periodically checks for messages sent out by the Ticker Tape Administrator and unobtrusively displays them at the top of the users screen, sized to ensure that the title bar and window controls of any other application displayed underneath it are still fully accessible.

The user can then choose to allow the message to scroll across the top of the screen, double-click it to view the message in a standard dialog box or easily send it to the system tray where it remains until it either times out or is replaced or cleared by the administrator
