1.3.3 Message Editor
Overview
The Message Editor is a ’What you see, what you get’ authoring tool that allows to create custom messages
in a similar way as a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. These messages can contain video, graphics,
text and paint items, Live data elements as well as custom made items. Each of these items can have 3
types of effects: entry, hold and exit effect. A lot of properties can be set so that the message reaches the
expectations of the customer.
To make it even more flexible, one message can contain different scenes which will be played back one
after each other.

1.3.4 Action Manager
Overview
The Action Manager is a real time interactive tool to create and to organize custom actions or commands
that can be executed on a display. An action is always created for a single display or even for a specific
layer on that display.
Actions are represented by a thumbnail and can have 3 different priorities: normal, hot and red hot. Actions
can be content related to show a specific content, or display related to control the display settings.
Actions can be stored in categories so that it is easy to find them back during the game. Activating an
action is as simple as double clicking on it. A triggered action will be added to the real time queue and
can change the queue sequence depending on the priority of the action.
Within the Action Manager, the different queues can be controlled.
