| iTex Web Sender Client The iTex Web client is one of the primary iTex products. It is from here that all 'manual' text messages are sent. The Web Sender Client contains a simple Message Sender, Contacts Database, Sent Box, Inbox and basic Administration. iTex Administration The iTex Administration system is the nerve centre of iTex, it is utilised by administrators to set up users, groups and accounts as well as create identifier campaigns (Identifiers are useful for automatic information provision and obtaining feedback - through the use of simple key words), direct incoming SMS messages to e-mail accounts and assign security permissions. iTex SMS Registration Package The iTex SMS registration Package is a powerful SMS application that will enable you to register users via SMS and Web for a notification services. The system automatically generates and sends, via SMS, a unique username and password to every user that registers. This can then be used by registrants to amend their details online or unsubscribe. iTex Messenger - Outgoing The iTex email to SMS facility is a powerful use of the iTex web service, which is implemented in conjunction with LGOL-Net. This enables an email to be sent as a text message, to an individual or group mail list. LGOL can be downloaded free of charge from the LAWS (Local Authority Websites) National Project site. (Please see the National Projects website for links to LAWS – www.localegovnp.org.uk) iTex Messenger - Incoming iTex SMS to email provides the facility to send a text message and for it to be received as an e-mail. This is done by linking an iTex identifier to a destination e-mail address. For example, people can report a faulty street lamp by texting the keyword 'lamp' followed by location. The system will identify the word 'lamp' then forward the SMS message as an e-mail to the Highways Dept. iTex Receipts Receipts can be used to great effect within an organisation. This could be automated using the supplied web service or manually sent from the iTex Client Application. For example, when a person reports a fault they can choose to have a confirmation receipt sent to them. iTex Alert The iTex alert web service can be implemented within councils to enable citizens to sign up for message alerts in the same way as they currently sign up for e-mail alerts. For example, people can register to receive SMS alerts when a new job is added to the vacancies database. iTex Web Service The iTex web service is the heart of the iTex toolkit. It represents the core functionality. It acts as a conduit, forwarding data to and from the mobile providers and the iTex administration system. An Authority can choose to host this web service on its own infrastructure, or in the case of iTex Lite, consume this from Kirklees Metropolitan Council or another local authority. iTex Resource Library How to Guide The How to Guide is a comprehensive guide to SMS text messaging, including helpful background information, user manuals, training guides and technical documentation.
