The General Notice Administration allows users to add in new General Notices, to add the English and French translations of the alerts, and to state who is allowed to post each of the alerts. The general notices can be used to post messages which are not related to specific delays or cancellations, or to post that all runs within an area or operator are cancelled. All types need a title, which is used as the auto translation for the alert. To add more languages and translations to BusPlanner Web, see the Translations section of the manual.
•To create or edit a general notice, enter the appropriate translations, and click Save (below Operator Permissions.)
Notice Types
•Existing – The existing notice types are general notices which are already in the system. Existing notices can be selected in order to be edited or to be deleted. •New – Entering text in this box allows the user to add a new general notice to the system. The text entered serves as the default title of the alert and should be the same as the default language for the website. •Value – The value defines who will be emailed when the general notice is posted, based on existing severity levels. •Do not send ... – Select these options to exclude certain communication types from this General Notice type. (Severity addresses are set up in Severity Manager.) |

•Auto – The default translation for the General Notices. Normally this serves the same as the type. However, if the type and the auto are a different language, the user should enter in an auto translation. •EN-CA – This is the English translation for the General Notices. This should always be entered even if the auto language is English. •FR-CA – This is the French translation for the General Notices. This should always be entered even if the auto language is French. •Custom languages can be set up in Translations. Notes: •Text messages and Twitter are limited to 1600 characters.
