ActiveCrawl RSS

Deliver RSS Feeds as a Text Crawl on the Computer Desktop

Campus security officials are increasingly realizing the power of Real Simple Syndication (RSS) technology as a reliable means of publishing information. Now, ActiveCrawl RSS™ by SpectraRep® automates delivery of RSS emergency alert feeds straight to the computer desktop, giving campus security officials another powerful mechanism for alerting people during a moment of crisis.

ActiveCrawl RSS - Feeds Delivered to the Desktop

ActiveCrawl RSS integrates with a campus RSS feed to automatically deliver a text crawl directly to the computer desktop whenever a security alert is published in the RSS Feed. Text crawls are delivered as pop-up text bars that scroll along the bottom of a computer screen. Text crawls are seen within seconds of being issued.

ActiveCrawl RSS streamlines delivery of RSS feeds by automatically creating and delivering a text crawl each time a new item is published. To view an actual alert please click here.

Campus officials can deploy the ActiveCrawl RSS solution on their own servers and have complete administrative control over the solution. Managing your RSS Feed within ActiveCrawl can be done quickly and easily within our intuitive administration tool.  

If a campus does not have an internal campus alerting feed, this solution can be delivered either through SpectraRep’s ActiveAlert solution or deployed through e2Campus, an emergency notification system for higher education. As a certified product of e2Campus, ActiveCrawl RSS is easily accessed through the e2campus administrative interface to initiate and send alerts to the desktop.

Simple Download 

ActiveCrawl RSS is PC and Mac Compatible and only requires a simple download from your website. On the user's computer, it is minimized in the toolbar until a crawl is activated, which causes the crawl to appear on the screen.

The technology works behind the scenes to provide a secure, easy to use and low bandwidth application to the end-user. As with all ActiveAccess technology, this solution is free from any malware, adware or spyware.
