HI all
I am using NPM v9.0 SP2. I was lokking for some intresting things we can do with the new website of NPM. I was able to use the Login Text feature of the website to announce any change or plan outage to all the web users of NPM irrespective of the view restrictions.
I have added a small syntax in the HTML coding of the masterpage and now the users who log in to NPM will have a scrolling message just above their menu bar which the administrator can use as an announcement. This message is independent of the page they are visiting. So the same message which you can set on the Login Page will now keep on scrolling on all the pages.
Nice thing where you need to make an announcement to all the users and ensure they do not miss it. ;-)
Now i am looking ahead to somehow get the last login details of a web account just below the logout button. Can someone help me in getting the same done.
I have added the below syntax to my \InetPub\SolarWinds\Orion\MasterPage.master (only the syntax in BOLD)
<body runat="server" ID="Body">
<div id="container">
<div id="content">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder runat="server" ID="pageHeaderPlaceholder">
