FUN BILLBOARD DEMO USER MANUAL
40
Example:
A manager of the night club (FUN BILLBOARD DEMO user/operator) wants to offer to his
visitors/customers a service that would periodically send to their cell phone a text
message with current events in the club. The manager wants his customers to decide if
they want to subscribe to that service or not, therefore the manager sets up FB PRO to
allow the individual customer register with the group by sending a text message:
1. Click on Add group
2. Name new group (for example: Customers)
3. Check the box “Allow registration via SMS”
4. Choose a registration prefix for that group (for example: !Subscribe) and click o Save
button
NOTE: The registration prefix needs to be preceded with some special character like:! or
? (default character for registration is !) . The default character can be changed in
Settings -> Application window.
Now the individual participants can subscribe themselves to the group Customers by
sending the following text message: !Subscribe
The manager will be sending his event calendar to the group Customers.
IMPORTANT: The registration prefix cannot contain spaces or characters from national
languages.
8.3.5.2.Export groups to a text file
Individual groups can be exported to a text file using Export button on the list of the
groups. All records of subscribers assigned to that group will be exported to a text file.
The default name format of the text file is group <name of the group>.txt
8.3.6.Black list
“Black List” contains the list of blocked phone numbers – the messages from those
numbers will be ignored by the system. Moderator can add to the black list any user, who
abuse the rules by sending for example obscene or vulgar messages.
8.3.6.1.Export black list to a text file
Click on Export button on the Black List tab. Choose the location on your computer
where you want to save your black list text file. The system saves the text file using the
default name Blacklist.txt
The black list text file can be used by other database applications, like MS Excel or MS
Access.
8.3.7.Voting
Taking a vote is one of the most attractive features of the Fun Billboard system. The
audience or public can participate in voting by sending a text message containing the
proper phrase/text defined by Moderator.
An active voting can be presented in full screen mode, shared screen mode (along with
the chat) or can be hidden.
