Once
your MessagePoint product is installed you can
click Start > Control Panel > Display. On
there you click the Screen Saver tab and make
sure that MessagePoint Ent is selected as the
default screen saver.
Click Settings and then Browse to select the
Microsoft PowerPoint presentation on your local
system. You can also activate the 'Detect updates
on the presentation' and specify the refresh rate.
As a designer or content provider, you can update
the content of a screen saver presentation at
any time. All MessagePoint Professional Edition
users will scan for updates on the subscribed
presentation. Whenever an update is detected,
MessagePoint will copy the presentation locally
on its computer and restart the screen saver presentation
in order to display the latest and updated information.
By using the MessagePoint Enterprise Edition
you can easily connect your screen saver presentation
to external data sources like Microsoft Excel
worksheets and databases. The MessagePoint Enterprise
Edition client will continuously scan the content
of the linked data sources and change the content
on the slides accordingly. The big advantage here
is that you don't have to open and change the
presentation to get its real-time content updated.
All of this is done by using the embedded DataPoint
technology. Only requirement here is that the
screen saver presentation is created with our
DataPoint Enterprise Edition.
Also you can specify if the running screen saver
should be ended on mouse movements and keyboard
actions. Typically a screen saver is ended when
the mouse is moved or when a key is hit on the
keyboard. But sometimes it is interesting to turn
off this feature if your screen saver presentation
contains hyperlinks to external documents or web
sites that you want a user to click on.
