Tools/Alert
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
You may find it necessary to display an Alert on your screen, ie: car headlights
|
||||
left on, parent needed in nursery or anything else somebody may need notified
|
||||
about.This is easily done using the Alert which is accessible from the top Menu
|
||||
under Tools/Alert.
|
||||
|
||||
`Alert text` Enter the message you want displayed in this box.
|
||||
|
||||
`Parameter` This box is used for words you want to insert into the alert text.
|
||||
|
||||
You add the Parameter text into the alert text using “<>” (without quotations).
|
||||
Anywhere in the Alert text that you add these two symbols, <> side by side, will
|
||||
insert any text you have in the parameter box into the Alert message.
|
||||
|
||||
**Examples of use**
|
||||
`Alert text` The owner of the vehicle with license plate number <> your lights
|
||||
are on.
|
||||
`Parameter` HNN432
|
||||
These two settings will display like this:
|
||||
The owner of the vehicle with the license plate number HNN432 your lights are on.
|
||||
You could also reverse this example:
|
||||
`Alert text` HNN432 <>
|
||||
`Parameter` left their lights on.
|
||||
`Will display like this` HNN432 left their lights on.
|
||||
|
||||
If you use the same alerts on a regular basis, Save your Alert and you will have
|
||||
access to the alert with a click of the mouse. You may also click on New for a
|
||||
new alert or Delete an alert you do not need.
|
||||
|
||||
When you are ready to Display your Alert you have two options. Clicking on
|
||||
Display will display the Alert and the Alert Message window will remain open.
|
||||
Clicking Display & Close will display the alert and close the Alert Message
|
||||
window.
|
||||
|
||||
All details of the display, font, color, size and position are adjusted from the
|
||||
top Menu item Settings/Configure OpenLP, Alert tab and the instructions here.

|
||||

should leave them checked and activated for your first time use. You may easily
|
||||
change your choice when OpenLP is running under Settings/Plugin List. Click Next.
|
||||
