WebHeaders
The WebHeader feature allows the administrator to place a text or graphic message automatically in a separate frame above each web page displayed in users' browsers. This is performed at the server level and does not require any configuration of users' computers, and cannot be circumvented by end users. Administrators can use this function to display selected messages to LAN users such as internal announcements about events or activities within their organization. The WebHeader is displayed in a separate frame so as not to adversely affect the user's browsing experience. The WebHeader function can be disabled by an authorized administrator.
Standards based HTML WebHeaders
Benefit
Any content that can be placed in a web page can be placed in a WebHeader.
Description
The WebHeader is a web page in its own right and occupies its own separate frame. This means that text, graphics, fields, buttons or anything else that can be put into a web page can be put into a WebHeader. Third party web page editors may be used to create WebHeaders and advanced administrators may use Javascript or specific browser plug-in features as well.
There is a WebHeader Simulation available to let you experience how WebHeaders are viewed by users.
WebHeader templates for rapid creation of text messages
Benefits
No special knowledge of web page formats or HTML required.
Wide choice of predefined templates for every occasion.
Add colors, textures, even animated graphics quickly and easily.
Description
The WebHeader function includes templates allowing the administrator to create messages in less than a minute. Not only does this make it possible to create WebHeader messages without any knowledge of HTML, it includes animated graphics, colored backgrounds and text which the administrator can add at the click of a mouse to ensure that messages are noticed.
Get your messages noticed with the large range of animated graphics and stills. This is a small selection of the included images:

WebHeaders can incorporate Hyperlinks
Benefits
Users may point and click through to other web pages on other sites.
The WebHeader may draw users to view additional information.
Description
Because each WebHeader is a reduced-size web page, it can contain hyperlinks to other web pages. Administrators may "advertise" in-house services or events. Users can then click on the WebHeader to display specific web pages containing complementary information.
There is a WebHeader Simulation available to let you experience how WebHeaders are viewed by users.
Alert WebHeaders
Benefit:
Use to disseminate one-time notices.
Won't go away until acknowledged.
Allows use of in-your-face notices.
Description:
There are many times when an administrator wishes to post a message and to be sure it is read. Alert WebHeaders do just that. They continue to appear until dismissed. Once it is dismissed, the server will not deliver it to that particular computer any more. This is useful for delivering notices that need only be read once. It also allows the administrator to create large, full page in-your-face notices that can be read and then dismissed.
Carousel of WebHeader Notices
Benefit:
Increase impact by rotating multiple notices.
Description:
The new enhanced Vicomsoft WebHeader Server allows you to define a carousel of WebHeader notices to be displayed in rotation. Each time a users' browser displays a new page, a new WebHeader notice will be displayed. There is no limit on the number of WebHeader notices you may put into the carousel.
Style Helper
Benefit:
Greater ease of use in creation of WebHeader notices.
Benefit:
Enhance WebHeader notices with styled text and background colors.
Description:
Now when you use WebHeader's predefined templates, you can choose text styles and background colors from a user-friendly interface. No need to know HTML!
