News

This tab is intended for working with news messages that come to the terminal:

News

News messages are represented as a table with two columns:

  • Time — time of news receipt by the terminal;
  • Subject — news subject.

News messages that have not been viewed yet are displayed in bold font and are marked by the Unread news icon. Read news messages are marked by the Read news icon. If a news is marked by the High priority news icon, it means it is of high priority. A double click on a news will open a window of viewing it.

A context menu of a message contains the following commands:

  • View View — open the window of news viewing;
  • Copy Copy — copy the news line with its date into the clipboard for using in other applications;
  • Categories — this command appears only if the terminal receives several categories of news. It opens the sub-menu for selecting news categories to be displayed in the list. In order to hide a category a check near it should be removed. If terminal receives only news that belong to one category, this sub-menu is not shown. The "Customize" sub-menu allows a detailed setup of news categories;
  • Category — show/hide the "Category" column;
  • Auto Arrange — if this option is enabled, the size of "Time" and "Subject" fields is selected automatically;
  • Grid — show/hide grid to separate table fields.
  • If there is no "News" tab in the "Toolbox" window, it means no news messages have come yet;
  • If the "Enable news" option is disabled in the terminal settings, news will not be received;
  • If the account has no appropriate rights, this can be one of the reasons why news messages are not received or cannot be viewed.

Viewing News

The news viewing window is opened at a double click on a news or by executing the context menu command:
