Use immediate messages with a checked project, duration and stop procedure

A time changes at short notice or a meeting point moves. An immediate message informs the selected project without turning the update into a permanent card schedule. The guide adds documented controls and checks on site to the example.

1. Spontaneous change or planned notice?

Use an immediate message for a confirmed short-notice update. Recurring information suits scheduled cards or timed messages. A screen does not replace direct notification when individuals must reliably receive the change.

2. Check the target and text first

Open the message-sending dialog. Explicitly select the correct project and a saved message or template, or edit the text in the dialog. The help says green beside project selection means active; it does not alone confirm visible display on every screen.

3. Set an appropriate duration

Duration is in minutes. The help defines 0 as off and -1 as continuous until stopped. Choose a limited duration deliberately for brief notices. The example uses five minutes as an invented choice, not a general recommendation.

Example workflow

Step	Content or procedure	Check
Change	Meeting point today, 26 October 2026, 14:00: reception instead of Garten room.	Confirm the event and change
Duration	Five minutes in the sending dialog, an example choice.	Adapt the duration to the situation
Check	Check the correct device, then expiry or stop.	Assign a responsible person

Fictional workflow. Instructions use the local SUISSE-VIDEO help; examples and dates are invented.

4. Test, send and check on site

The test-message option opens a separate preview window. Check date, location and next step. Send only the confirmed version to the selected project and check actual playback.

5. Stop and check expiry

The stop-message option ends the active message in the selected project. Check the normal programme after expiry or stopping. Record who stops a continuous message. If details change again, review and correct the text rather than leaving conflicting notices in place.

Checklist

The notice is confirmed and current.
The correct target project is selected.
Text and preview are checked.
Duration is deliberately set.
Actual display is checked.
Expiry or stopping has an owner.

Use these checkboxes as a checklist. Your selections are not saved.
