TIMED-ACTIVITY SESSION COMMUNICATION
Configured voice announcements before sessions end
Configure voice announcements a set number of minutes before an activity slot ends. Named slot colours connect the announcement setup with the session grouping used by your venue.
This function requires colour coding, timing rules and a configured voice service. Confirm the playback and audio-output setup in a demonstration.
Three parts of the announcement setup
Named slot colours
Configure named colours for activity slots, using fixed or random allocation. The configured names and colours must match in number; random allocation requires at least two colours.
Before-end timing
Set the number of minutes before a slot ends when an announcement is required. At least one unique timing rule is needed. Exactly-at-end playback is not established by this configuration.
Voice service
Announcements depend on a configured voice service and the activity slot. Confirm the service requirements and how the announcement reaches your intended audio output.
Plan the call around the slot’s end time
Keep announcements separate from staff procedures
Colour grouping is a software setting
Named slot colours support visual grouping and announcements. They do not establish physical wristband printing, issuance, scanning or admission enforcement.
Changeover remains a venue procedure
Staff still need a procedure for communicating with customers and managing the end of a session. The announcement function does not establish physical headcounts, automatic removal of visitors or safety enforcement.
Booking times and arrival checks are separate parts of the visit. An announcement should not be treated as evidence that a customer has arrived or left.

Session announcement questions
When can announcements be configured?
The supported configuration is a set number of minutes before an activity slot ends. Exactly-at-end announcements need separate confirmation.
Does the setup need colour coding?
Yes. The audited announcement function requires colour coding. Slot colours can use fixed or random allocation, with matching numbers of names and colours. Random allocation requires at least two colours.
Can we write our own announcement scripts?
Custom wording is not established by the available evidence. Ask to hear or review an example message and confirm any required wording before agreeing the setup.
Will it work with our speakers or PA system?
Compatibility has not been established for every audio setup. Confirm the voice service, playback device and intended output equipment. Offline playback and multi-location audio routing also require separate verification.
Does it print wristbands or control admission?
No physical wristband or admission-control workflow is established by these announcement settings. Colour grouping, customer arrival checks and staff changeover procedures should be reviewed as separate requirements.
Review your session communication requirements
Bring an example timetable, the colour groups you intend to use and your preferred before-end notice period. We can review the configuration and identify the message and audio requirements that need demonstrating.
