Feature Focus: Pre-launch Dialogs

Introducing Pre-launch Dialogs:

Personalized Communication for an Enhanced User Experience

We are thrilled to announce the release of a highly requested feature in AppsAnywhere version 3.1: Pre-launch Dialogs. This exciting addition offers administrators even more flexibility and customization when it comes to launching applications.

Pre-launch Dialogs empower admins to configure custom text that will be displayed to users when they choose to launch an application. The possibilities are endless! You can use the dialog to convey vital information such as End User License Agreements, license keys for software downloads, warnings, acknowledgments, or any other relevant details.

Setting up Pre-launch Dialogs is a breeze. Let's walk through the simple steps:  

1. Pre-launch dialogs are an optional additional to each application. Access the pre-launch dialog edit screen within the edit page of the application you wish to add it to.

2. Select the ‘Show a pre-launch dialog’ checkbox and you'll notice the addition of a rich text editor, providing you with the tools to create compelling and informative messages.

‍3. Once your message is ready, save the changes. Congratulations! You have successfully set up the pre-launch dialog for the chosen application.  

Now, let's explore the powerful options available with Pre-launch Dialogs:  

‍1. Suppressing the Dialog: In the example below, users have the option to suppress the dialog for future launches by checking the box on the bottom left. This allows them to skip the dialog in subsequent launches, ensuring a smoother experience.            

2. Accessing Information: Even if users accidentally suppress the dialog, they can still retrieve the information in the future through the launch success dialog. This ensures that important details are always accessible when needed.     

‍3. Resetting the Dialog: Suppose you need to update the dialog with new information or want to ensure that all users, including those who previously suppressed it, read and accept the message again. In that case, you can easily reset the dialog, triggering a mandatory display for all users.

4. For scenarios where it is crucial to inform users each time they launch an application, you can remove the option to suppress the pre-launch dialog. By doing so, users will no longer see the checkbox and will be required to acknowledge the message every time. 

A World of Possibilities

The addition of Pre-launch Dialogs opens up a world of possibilities for administrators to deliver personalized communication to users. Imagine notifying users about updated versions of an application and offering them the choice to run the newer version or continue with the current one. Alternatively, you can inform users when an application is deprecated and scheduled for removal, or even dissuade repeated clicking by explaining about longer load times for large applications.

At AppsAnywhere, we value customer feedback, and Pre-launch Dialogs is a testament to our commitment to enhancing your experience. We understand the importance of conveying essential information and ensuring user engagement, and this feature puts you in full control.
