Sites that are connected within a common Organization will display notifications and informers from all Sites in the Organization, when Cross Site Notifications are enabled.
Key Concepts:
•Users must be logged into the Cloud to receive Cross Site Notifications.
•The Desktop Client will only display communications from Sites that the current user has access to.
•The Cross Site Notification selector is only displayed while logged into the Cloud and when compatible Sites are available.
•Cross Site Notifications must be enabled each time the Desktop Client is restarted – this setting is not saved.
•Notification footers are prefixed with the Site ID instead of the Camera IP Address provided with local Notifications.
•Cross Site Notifications are initiated by the Event Action Show Desktop Notification and adhere to other Event Rules (distribution, timing).
NOTE: If 2FA is required on the Site generating a cross site notification and the receiving user is not authenticated, then the user will be provided an informative dialog and the option to authenticate and enable receipt of notifications from the Site generating (2FA) notifications.
