Format Page - Messaging (RadarScreen)

The Messaging tab allows you to set up the Periodic Update Messaging feature for the RadarScreen window. To use periodic update messaging in the RadarScreen window, you must also set up an email address in the Setting Up Messaging Preferences.

You can enable this feature on a page-by-page basis or for all of the pages. For example, you might have five pages within a RadarScreen window but enable the messaging feature for only one page. Also, you might want to be notified more or less frequently depending on the type of symbols on a particular page. For example, you can set up a page that sends messages every 10 minutes and create another page that sends messages every 30 minutes.

Periodic update messages are not logged to the Message Center. If no ticks are received during the specified time period, no updates will be sent. The next update will be sent as soon as a tick is received.
