supports the use of wildcards. For example, if the Department name is 123456 and the

serverURL

is

http://server.{$pttDepartment}.customer.com/motd

, then the URL used will be

http://server.123456.customer.com/motd

.

Show MOTD Link

This parameter provides the ability to turn off the URL to the media file sent with the MOTD. This parameter does not change the experience of the sender but changes the what the recipient sees. This parameter does not affect the recipients ability to view or hear the media file.

showMotdLink Parameters
Parameter	Description	Type	Default Value	Configurable Values
showMotdLink	When false, the link to the media file in the MOTD message is not shown.	Boolean	true	true or false

MOTD Link Indication String

This parameter provides the ability to prepend a text message to the MOTD message. This helps the recipient to understand the message is an MOTD. The maximum string length allowed is 64 characters.

MOTDLinkIndicationString
Parameter	Description	Type	Default Value	Configurable Values
MOTDLinkIndicationString	The string is automatically prepended to the MOTD text message. The maximum length of the string is 64 characters.	String	empty	N/A

Hiding Contacts

Service users are created to support MOTD in the PTT Pro Management Portal. These service users are not useful for PTT Pro so an administrator can hide these service accounts to avoid confusion. Enabling this parameter affects the Contacts, Favorites, and Group Member List views, including group members in the Recent view.

hideDisplayStringList Parameters
Parameter	Description	Type	Default Value	Configurable Values
hideDisplayStringList	The Favorites, Contacts, and Groups tab hides any group or contact matching the specified string.	String	empty	See example below

The string is not case sensitive, for example iwg, IWG, and iWg match the same set of users or groups.

Consider the following example.

"hideDisplayStringList":["Proxy","IWG", "dispatch"]

The string

"Proxy","IWG", "dispatch"

hides the following usernames:

Customer.IWG.1234
   Customer.456.IWG
   Customer1234.Proxy
   CustomerProxyAbcd
   Dispatch.User

To show all contacts and disable hiding, configure an empty array:

"hideDisplayStringList": [],

Select the Audio Recorder

This parameter selects the audio recorder that is used to record an audio message. By default, this parameter selects the integrated PTT Pro audio recorder.

usePTTProAudioRecorder Parameters
Config String	Description	Type	Default	Configurable Values
usePTTProAudioRecorder	Selects the audio recorder to be used by MOTD recording. When enabled, the integrated PTT Pro recorder will be used. When false, the Android Sound Capture App will be used.	Boolean	true	true or false
