Marquee Manager Client Distribution Lists

About this task

The Distribution Lists folder in the Marquee Manager Client window left-pane:

  • Displays a list of all distribution lists that have been configured in Marquee Administrator.

This allows the same message to be sent to multiple marquees at the same time.

  • Allows users to add slots to configured marquees in distribution lists, enabling the same message to be sent to multiple marquees with a single request.

Marquee Manager Client applications provide the ability to compose messages and send them to a marquee distribution list, as to gateways.

  1. Expand the Distribution Lists folder in the Marquee Manager Client window left-pane.
  2. Select the Slots folder; click the New Slot button on the Marquee Manager Client toolbar.
