Create a Targeted Desktop Alert

A targeted desktop alert is extremely valuable for large companies, organizations, and educational institutions. One benefit is the ability to exchange executive communications to upper management on new policies, products and other classified information prior to release to all employees. Targeted groups can be easily created, added to, or deleted as necessary.

Administrators have the capability to make changes to settings to improve efficiency for their application. One of the most popular settings is the ability to allow staff the option to read desktop alerts that are not time sensitive later. A separate snooze function can be used for employees while they are with customers or in a meeting. The administrator can set a maximum time limit for these messages.

Other options that can be used with a desktop alert system include emergency alerts, which can be sent to all employees and are set to override any settings. An acknowledgement of the message as well as a full record that shows whether the employee followed the link is an excellent method to ensure legal and internal policies are accessed. Additionally, prominence of the message, position and size are options that can be individually set.

Many companies will routinely update policies and employees will be required to follow links that can easily be transmitted using desktop alerts. The full spectrum reporting included allows managers the ability to identify whether employees have accessed these critical policies.
