Push Contents to your Screens

You created or uploaded your content and playlist. Now, what's the easiest way to push them to your screens?

Method 1: Edit Screen

Click Edit on your Screen Management page to assign content to your screens.

Method 2: "Push to Screens" button

Find the Push to Screen button after you create/edit your: Playlist, SplitScreen, or using Designer.

You can:

  • Push the content to screens immediately
  • Schedule it for a future date
  • Or temporarily take over the screens for a period of time

Select if you want to push to screens right away or schedule the changes

  • Target: you can select
    • Screens: then select the screen or screens you want to target (in the above example we are pushing to 3 screens named "Lobby Screen", "Hallway 1" and "Entrance room 01").
    • Tags: if you have tags on your screens (i.e. "marketing" or "building 1") you can select those tags and all the screens with those tags will be targeted.

  • Assign to screen: Assign to the screen directly.
  • Schedule go-live time:
    • Set a time when you want the screens to start playing this content. The screen(s) will play this content from this time onward.
    • An Expiration feature will also be provided to stop the content that is temporarily assigned.
  • Temporarily take over the screens: Now or later, temporarily take over the screen(s) with this content for a period of time, then revert to playing what was assigned to them before.

What if your screen is already assigned to the playlist? When a playlist is assigned to a selected screen, you will be given the option to either include the asset in the playlist assigned or override the playlist with the asset. It will show "Screens(s) using playlist". 

  • Add this asset to the end of the current playlist(s) the screen(s): This will add the asset to the end of the current playlist. You can also set the duration to it. 
  • Assign this asset to the selected screen(s): This will just assign this asset to the screen directly.
