CAP alert

The CAP Alert app is only available in the Pro subscription and on the emergency alert page.

The CAP Alert app lets you display one or more CAP alert messages that are avaible on the configured web address in the CAP XML format. A CAP alert typically contains 1 or more messages (stored in info blocks). These can be different messages or the same message in different languages. When active in a channel, the app will show these messages one after the other with an interval of 30 seconds. In the designer you can cycle through these yourself using the refresh button next to the Web address of CAP service.
