The Prompter server module is supplied as part of the Skylark software and is automatically activated when the Neovid module starts.

Basic configuration is required before the first launch of the web application.

The licence file must be named ‘’license-prompter.lic‘’ and located in one of the folders:

• For servers with software up to and including version 2.10.x: ‘’C:\Program files (x86)\SL NEO Media Platform\run‘’,
• For servers with software version 2.11.x: ‘’%LOCALAPPDATA%\SLNEO\Run‘’.

In licences, the following fields must be activated: fld_prompter_channels and fld_prompter_clients.

The Prompter module uses an authorisation system based on the Storage module. Before you start, you need to create the following user groups in the media storage used for user authorisation:

• Prompter_User - users from this group can authorise and control text scrolling.
• Prompter_Editor - users from this group enable ‘Prompter_User’ permissions, and can change the text in the prompter interface and update it in the programme channel (in case of working in Program mode),
• Prompter_Admin - users in this group include ‘Prompter_User’ and ‘Prompter_Editor’ permissions, and can change and save the configuration of Prompter sources.

If Storage uses authorisation mode via LDAP, the specified groups must also be created in the directory service or Active Directory.

Interface configuration and module management is performed via client web-interface.
