Hi everyone. It's great to have you here. This is were you can ask questions on the Cireson Configuration Manager Ticker app. Feel free to browse available discussions and threads, or start your own. We'll make sure to get an answer posted either by one of our great customers, or a Cireson person as appropriate.

Hi Wally and everyone else from Team Cireson

One question I have which I couldn't find the answer to in the current documentation on the ConfigMgr Ticker app, is whether the scheduled time (available/expire) is in UTC time or in client local time.

I just started testing with it, and it looks awesome so far, but just wanted to know if there are any plans to add features where we could see a status report to find out on how many and which machines the notification was already displayed.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the comments. Glad you like what you've seen so far. Reporting of announcements displayed, who has seen them, who has dismissed them, etc. is a common request. It has already been added to the queue to see what we can do in a future update to the tool.

I am pretty sure that the time used it client local time, and not UTC. My testing seemed to indicate that, and I had recently asked my dev that to verify, and he agreed - client local time.

Hope that helps. Please do keep sending in suggestions for improving this app, and for any additional apps that you'd like to see.

Thanks for the quick answer!

You are very welcome Adam, glad to help. One thing that you could do (and actually everyone on the Community site) is to mark answers when you agree with them. That way they get flagged as the answer, and others will know the answer when they search for the answer :-)

Is there a way to see active and scheduled announcements and also cancel scheduled announcements?

wally_mead

Hi L_Schick,

Thanks for the questions. No, there is no current method to cancel a scheduled announcement, or view ones "in the queue". We have had many requests already to allow you to cancel an announcement, and it is in the list for the next update to the app. We can certainly look at adding the ability to view all scheduled announcements (which we'd likely need to do in order to allow you to delete one).

Keep the suggestions/questions coming :-)

Oh, and I guess I should have said - please create new threads instead of adding onto the Announcement here. Having individual threads will allow for answers, and for feature requests (different section on the Community site), people can vote on them to give us data on how important the feature request is.

Do we know when v1.2 for the Configuration Manager Ticker app will be available for download?

wally_mead

I wish I could tell you the exact date, but I don't know. The bits are ready, the docs are done, the download file created. I'm not just waiting for the zip file to be published to the download site. I was hoping that it would have been done last week, but has not happened yet.

As soon as I get notification that it is ready for download, I will post a note here on this site. It could be as early as today, which I'd love to report :-)
