Sun, 24 Oct 2010 18:59:51 GMT http://www.ambersoftware.co.uk/downloads_tickertape.htm Version 1.2.1 of Ticker Tape introduces a few user-requested enhancements such as the ability to suppress the Agent when a full screen application is active (such as a PowerPoint presentation or media player), if the Agent workstation is within defined IP subnet ranges or if a special 'marker' file (called SuppressTickerTape.dat) is present at the root of the Agents system drive. <br> <br>Additionally, messages can now be flagged as 'alerts' causing them to flash at the Agent workstations to 'grab' attention - intended for rare occassions when (likely non-I.T. system) security or safety incidents occur, providing a means to quickly advise users in an effecient manner.
