Next to Groups and Filters, Channels offer an additional possibility to address users. Users can subscribe to channels, they don't have to be assigned by the administrator.
Channels serve for spreading information, when the Infoclient, i.e. the combination of computername, IP-address and username can't be uniquely identified.
This always happens, when the Infoclient is not logged on to a domain, e.g. when connecting over the internet.
If you want to distribute the most recent special offers or company news to your customers, then create a channel "Special Offers" or "Recent News".
The user of the Infoclient then can subscribe to this channel and will always be up to date.
Channels can be created language dependently, this enables an user to be informed in his mother tongue. Please mind the correct choice and insertion of the languages.
