Customizing SMS Connections for Clients

Sigma enables you to customize the configured SMS connection for a specific corporate client. The DEFAULT_SMS connection can be customized for a particular corporate client.

The Default_SMS connection is created by default in Studio’s Connection screen.

The credentials for the default connection must be defined in the system environment variables.

If the values are not provided in the system environment variables, the DEFAULT_SMS Connection prioritizes the value provided in the parameters in the following screenshot of Sigmasystempreferences.properties file.

To create a Client customized SMS connection, proceed with the following steps:

Hover the mouse on the DEFAULT_SMS connection and click the three-dot icon. Proceed to select the Customize for Client option to configure a customized client connection.
