Alarm display settings

If you want to change the design of your alarms you can do so via the web interface of Cordaware bestinformed. The alarm popups can be designed individually  (e.g. with pictures and hyperlinks) due to the usage of HTML.

 

In order to adjust the design please open the app New Info.

 

Alarm_WYSIWYGEditor

 

Afterwards select the template extended alarm from the list of templates.

 

In the editor you can change the general design of the alarm. Activate the source edit mode if you want to change the HTML code of the template. After editing your template you can save your changes by clicking on the save template button

 


More detailed settings can be found in the chapter Templates.
