Adding Templates to your Player(Old UI)
With templates, you can manage multiple content zones on a single screen, each zone containing its own playlist for versatile and targeted content display. Here’s a guide on how to use templates effectively:
1. Template Overview
Templates provide a zone layout editor that allows you to divide your screen into multiple zones. Each zone acts as an independent playlist or sub-playlist, giving you control over which content displays in each area. Once a template is assigned to a player, the player will download the template layout along with any associated playlists and media files.
To apply any updates to the template’s playlists or media, just press SYNC, and the targeted players will automatically refresh with the latest changes.
2. Creating and Managing Templates
Adding a New Template:
To create a new template, click Add > New. This opens the zone layout editor, where you can design your template, set up the screen sizes for each zone, and assign playlists to each area using the zone editing pane.Duplicating a Template:
If you want to reuse an existing template as a base, select Add > Duplicate to create a copy. You can then modify it to suit your needs.Deleting a Template:
Templates can be deleted if they aren’t currently assigned to any player. Removing unnecessary templates can help keep your workspace organized.
3. Sending a Template to a Player
When you’re ready to deploy your template, you can send it directly to a player. The player will download the template layout, playlists, and any media files associated with each zone.
4. Selecting and Editing Templates
To select a template, click it in the template listing. This will allow you to edit the layout, adjust content in each zone, assign new media or playlists, and SYNC these updates to the targeted players.
Using templates enables you to organize intricate content layouts on your signage screens, creating dynamic, flexible, and visually engaging displays tailored to your audience.
