- | === Custom Message === | + | **Last label printed. ** By default, Dymo opens to the last label template you previously printed. This is what Dime-O-Gold uses when it launches Dymo "under the hood." You can also "force" a particular label template by designating so in Dymo LabelWriter Software as follows: |
- | Rather than use the default, generic message, which simply explains that the numbere is being used only for outbound text broadcasts, a custom message gives you one more chance to engage your prospect or customer, to inform, to drive traffic to your web site or sales staff. | + | - Launch your Dymo Label software. |
+ | - Choose Edit (at the top), then Preferences. | ||
+ | - Click the Functional tab. | ||

- | === More "Discreet" Confirmation When Sending Texts === | + | |
- | + | ||
- | By default, when you send a "onesie" using the GoldSMS interface from within GoldMine, you get a 2-second banner displaying across the center of your screen. Most of our clients like that initially, as it gives a good, solid feel for the fact that something is, in fact, happening. | + | |

- | + | ||
- | To replace the 2-second banner display with a polite little message in the GoldMine status bar, simply add the following line to the [Settings] section of your goldsms.ini file: | + | |
