How can the Dynamic Signal desktop app be downloaded?
A skinned desktop application is created for each Dynamic Signal community leveraging a 512x512 image asset of each customer’s community icon that appears when the community is opened on a mobile device (this is also the same icon that sits in the top left-hand corner of the each Dynamic Signal community on the web).
The desktop application can either be downloaded individually by members from their community’s home webpage, or it can be pre-installed on devices in partnership with a customer’s IT/IS services. This pre-installation on employee devices is controlled by each customer’s IT team.
When delivering files to IT, Dynamic Signal will typically share a link to a secure SharePoint folder that houses Mac and PC installation packages.
Dynamic Signal can provide unbranded Mac and PC files to IT partners for a security scan or load testing before final files are delivered.
