NetSupport Notify - Updated

[Al_NetSupport]

 

Hi everyone,

 

Just a heads up, that we have now issued an update to NetSupport Notify, our desktop alerting and school lockdown notification solution.

 

Below is a summary of some of the main tweaks and updates.

 

Al.

 

 

 

Increased character limit

 

Users can now send more information in their notifications, with the character limit of the message title being increased from 40 to 80 and the main message text character limit doubling from 500 to 1000.

 

Emergency response message

 

To stop emergency response messages from being accidentally sent, you can now choose to set up a combination of three hotkeys to send these messages.

 

Active Directory templates

 

The Notify Console, Agent and settings can all be deployed via ‘Group Policy’ without manual intervention. The centralisation of this process will help save time and resources by avoiding a manual set-up.

 

Message display

 

To ensure your notification reaches everyone, the notification message will now appear even when a computer is locked.

 

Sending notifications

 

When choosing the recipients to send a notification message to, the Active Directory display name can now be displayed rather than the logged on user name. This makes it even easier to find and select the people you want to send a notification message to.

 

IPv6 support

 

NetSupport Notify now provides support for IPv6 addresses, ensuring that all of your devices and networks can be supported.
