Networked Staff Paging System (NSPS) Version 1.4.9

General Description
===========
The Networked Staff Paging System (NSPS) consists of a central server and any number remote objects (e.g. help request buttons) located anywhere grid wide. When a user touches a remote object, it sends a message to the server which, in turn, sends an IM (page) to staff members with information about the user and the remote. The list of staff members is defined by a notecard in the server. The IM to staff members includes several clickable links that enable the staff members to respond quickly. This includes links to open the user's profile, open an avatar-to-avatar IM session with the user, teleport to the remote object's location and optionally open an IM session in the staff's group to coordinate a response. You can optionally allow users to compose and send an IM to staff members.

NOTE: IMs sent to staff members will appear in their local chat but are private (only be seen by the recipient). IMs from objects do not appear in separate IM session popups. The color of the IM text in local chat will usually be different from other local chat, etc., depending on the viewer's chat color preference settings.

The NSPS can be customized for your application via the NSPS Server Config notecard. Main options include the following:

- Send page IMs only to staff member who are online, or to all staff members regardless of online/offlline status.
- Enable or disable user popup to compose and send staff members an IM.
- Ban a list of avatars from using remotes.
- Option to include a link in staff paging IMs to open an IM session with the staff group.
- Set an anti-spam time limit for how often users can touch a remote.
- Server option to specify a texture to be applied to all remotes when at least one staff member is online.
- Server option to specify a texture to be applied to all remotes when no staff members are online.
- Specify how often a remote will request an update from the server if it has not been touched by a user.
- Turn the server's floating text on or off.

Permissions
=======
The server object permissions are mod, copy, no-transfer. The server scripts are no-mod, copy, no-transfer.
The remote object permissions are mod, copy, transfer. The remote scripts are no-mod, copy, transfer
This allows the system owner to optionally transfer remotes to other avatars for locations where the server owner does not have rez rights.
It is highly recommended, however, that the system owner set the next owner permissions for remote objects and their scripts to no-mod and either no-copy or no-transfer.

NOTE: The Server and Remote objects are single prims. They are modifiable so you can rename them, resize them and/or re-texture them. You can also copy the scripts and notecards into objects of your own design. Just make sure they are in the root prim.
