In the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) Web App, you can send a message to IGEL OS 12 devices. Currently, only plain text messages are supported, i.e. simple string messages without formatting and HTML codes.
Sending a message to IGEL OS 11 devices via the UMS Web App is currently not possible. Use the UMS Console, instead; see Sending Messages to Devices in the IGEL UMS.
Menu path: UMS Web App > Devices > Send message
To send a message to IGEL OS 12 devices, the following permissions are required:
- Read and Send Message (set in the UMS Console via [context menu of a device / device directory] > Access Control)
- Device Bulk Action if a message should be sent to multiple devices (set in the UMS Console under System > Administrator accounts)
For general information on rights and permissions, see How to Create Administrator Accounts in the IGEL UMS.
To send a message:
- In the UMS Web App > Devices, select the required device / device directory and click Send message.
- Type your message. Do not use HTML or other codes.
- Click Send message.
Your message will be sent to the devices shown in the list. This device list is read-only, i.e. you cannot select the devices here.
If you have selected the device directory for sending a message, the number of affected devices is shown.
On the device, the message is displayed in a Message window, and, if not closed, also in the Notification Center.
