About Message Broadcasting

Siebel message broadcasting functionality allows Siebel administrators to display important information directly in the message bar of users' screens. The text of a message broadcast can be up to 2,000 characters in length and can contain HTML tags, which are treated as HTML code on the message bar.

Message broadcasting is available for employee applications but not for customer or partner applications. By default, message broadcasting is enabled, although the administrator can enable or disable it. In environments with very high security requirements, it is recommended that message broadcasting be disabled. For information on disabling message broadcasting, see Siebel Applications Administration Guide.
