READING SPONTANEOUS MESSAGES
Reading spontaneous messages
A spontaneous message is a short message that is personalized and displayed
whenever a transit occurs—for example, “Please get in touch with Human
Resources office.” When you present your card, the device authenticates you and
if your card is configured for a spontaneous message or if the terminal is
configured to show a spontaneous message, it appears on your device transit
display.
To read a spontaneous message, click on the related icon shown on the transit
page when a transit is performed.
Spontaneous messages can be associated with:
•
A specific employee (or to a set of employees) and so addressed exclusively to
the person in question (or the set of people)
•
A primary object and so they can be viewed by all authorized users who
transit at the device.
Each Spontaneous Message may include some parameters that put some
condition on the presentation of the spontaneous message, for example:
•
A commencement date and an expiry date (message is shown only between
these two dates)
•
A direction of the transit (message is shown only for the transit directions
specified)
•
A type of transit (message shown only during specific transits, for example
only when a transit is granted)
