Specify Custom Fields for Screen Display Boxes
$display_box boxno title initval
This command specifies an override for the contents of one of the boxes on the COPIAFACTS screen display. There are eight boxes in the upper section of the display, numbered as shown below. You may customize all but the first two boxes.
The parameters on this command are used as follows:
| boxno | the box number to be used, from 3 to 8 inclusive. The eight boxes are numbered as follows: |
1 | 3 | 5 | 7
- - - - - - -
2 | 4 | 6 | 8
| title | up to eleven characters, enclosed in double quotes if they contain embedded blanks, to be used as the title of the box on the display. |
| initval | up to six characters which represent the initial value for the box. |
To place values in the custom fields, you can assign values to system variables DISPLAYn (where n is 3 to 8) during the request part of a call. During outbound calls, the commands $count_sent, $count_email and $count_fail, inserted in an FS file by your broadcast template or fax client application, can be used to display the corresponding counts in these fields.
The override text is not shown initially when COPIAFACTS starts up, only when the CopiaFacts engine has been started.
Example:
Specify a counter box. After using this command you may assign values to variable DISPLAY5 (for example incrementing a counter for each $lookup_var command) which will display on the COPIAFACTS status screen instead of the usual "Xmit errs:".
$display_box 5 "Lookup_var:" 0
