Availability Indicators
Controls such as the online status indicators used in the chat system allow users to feel comfortable with options they're familiar with already.
Alerts and Chat Options
From the Alerts tab, members can choose specific categories to receive instant notification of new projects or products posted in the marketplace. Members can also include multiple marketplace URL's to be notified from a network of sites of all new auction activity.
RSS Feeds
Members can choose their favorite sites, news links, and add them to the Alert menu keeping updated on a wide area of interest using the built in RSS feed option.
Live Category System
Members can opt into specific categories, either service or product categories of interest they wish to be notified in. As new auctions and/or projects are listed in those categories an alert would be displayed directly to the desktop.
What makes this category system unique is the logic behind the fancy graphics. Each category presented is loaded directly off your ILance marketplace through the use of LanceAlert API tools now available.
Multiple Marketplace Connection Profiles
For site owners that deploy ILance on multiple servers have the option to use multiple connection profiles. This gives the user the ability to quickly switch marketplace alert profiles with different categories for other marketplaces powered by ILance.
A good example would be designersite.com and developersite.com.
Custom Skins Theme Selector
Easily create custom color skins to compliment your marketplace theme and site design, choose predefined custom skins from the dropdown and create your own custom shade.
