The Banner module allows to display messages on a scrolling banner in the client graphic
interface.
It is possible to edit on-line this module and to change temporarily or definitively
the messages.
16 messages can be defined at the best. The colour of the text and the background of each
message, the size and the font, as well as the scroll speed are customizable.
It is also possible to activate and to start events by clicking on a sentence of the banner.
When the option "Save modifications in dynamics" is
ticked, the changes made to messages on-line are definitive. If this option is not
activated,
the changes of message will be cancelled when shutting down the server.
The on-line interface and the editor interface of the SCS are the same.

will be definitively recorded ;

"Event parameters" field related to the message.
For example, an URL to open a Web page
