Show Tip of the Day
The Vizion Platform supports a Tip of the Day message that can be displayed for a user upon login. These messages typically contain useful hints for working in the platform and to help users be more efficient with and have a better understanding of the system they use to do their job. The tips provide a quick and easy way to gain system knowledge that the user may never discover any other way. In addition, Administrators can edit the tips with new information and even add graphics if desired. This ability keeps the Tip of the Day entries fresh and practical for users.
