When will a full background/layers idea be implemented?
I'm pretty sure everyone would want this and just wondering when we would be able to have a full background for a channel and not slice up images from a background to have it in each zone so it will make up the background.
While on a similar subject, will there ever be layers for zones? If there we're an order for layers, we could make one whole zone a background and have the other zones on top of that. And I'm sure other people can think of many ways for layers as well.

I’m happy

Inappropriate?Hi ShadowSonic,
Thanks for the suggestions, we'll add them to our request list. We've been talking a lot recently about this kind of thing... Don't have a good idea at the moment of how we'd do it, but it has been a topic of conversation.
Unfortunately, I can't really speak to when things will be implemented. We've got a heck of a lot of things we'd like to do, and only so many hands. :)

Inappropriate?Allowing a channel to subscribe to multiple 'alert zones' may do the trick; and may also tackle other software requests with one stroke...
What would be great is if the name "alert zone" could be modified to match the content type. For example: "Alert Zone" could be changed to say "Lobby Full Screen" or "Lobby Alert", depending on the use. Changing the name would make things easier for the end user to understand.
It would also make our job (system admin's) easier explaining the process of how to create a full screen bulletin. We would not have to say
"To create a full screeen bulletin, you have to create an 'alert bulletin'. Even though your content isn't necessarily an emergency, the word 'alert' is simply a term the system associates with full screen bulletins..." -
Inappropriate?But you're using Alert Bulletins for a different purpose other then what it was intended to be used for. I doubt TRMS will add the option to change the name of Alert Bulletin. If they did, they might as well add the option to edit other names to fit the end user.
By the way, why are you using Alert Bulletins for normal bulletins? I'm guessing your channel has multiple zones and you're using Alert Bulletins to show something rather then putting it in another zone? -
Inappropriate?I see your point.
Regardless of the 'intended use', switching from a multi-zone layout to a full screen image is an inherit capability of the system; so why not utilize it? The bulletin type just happens to say alert.
Othrewise, the only other way I am aware of to have a multi-zone layout and also be able to show full screen messages, is to manually toggle between two different channels. This is not an option for us as 1) its expensive, and 2) we [the service provider] aren't staffed to accommodate the volume of requests we would receive from end users.
Instead, it would be much easier if we could simply subscribe a channel to two (or more) 'alert zones', then label/ tag one 'emergency' (for police) and another 'full screen' (for end users).
And to answer your question, yes there are important events that occurr around here that the executives want full screen versus 'in a zone'.
TRMS has always been very receptive to ideas brought forth on how to improve the system; which we (us and our end users) very much appreciate.
