hi!
As my title said, is it possible to display an alert within Javascript
I wanted to alert my operators when something is not conform to the order. any clue?
alert Popup in Switch client
I don't think so. Switch Client workflows pair well with email notifications. You could email the operator before it lands in the Switch client letting them know the alert exists. Another thing I do sometimes is put metadata fields on the checkpoint that are read only, but they don't jump out at you like an alert would.victor Lukenga wrote:hi!

It would great if switch client had more tweaking possibilities ( even if it's already very powerful) I mean small enhancements like bigger thumbnails or display alerts 
Yes, I do the same thing (display metadata field in 'read only')the email solution can be a good way to notify operators but i think it can slow down the control process. thank for your answer Gabriel.

Hi Victor,
As you may have noticed it already, Switch Client can emit a warning beep. It's generally hard to ignore it especially if the speaker volume is high.
It's such noisy that when I train people to Switch/Switch Client we end up disabling it because it turns all the trainees crazy
And for visual, Switch Client blinks a lot. But if you want to go scripting, you can imagine an applescript (mac) or VB(windows) that would raise a system alert.

That's true.
I did a quick search and if you are on mac, you could think of using growl through a command line. That way you can notify people over your network:
