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.

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.

Hi Loic

true !! switch client makes me mad sometimes especially when i'm busy on other stuffs

the display alerts is only fired up on switch designer, right ?

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:
