The management experience

From design to every screen

One workflow for the content on your screens: create it on brand, plan when it plays and publish it to the right screens.

Every screen, one view

Publish and monitor

Push content to screen groups and see what is live.

  • Check from head office what every screen is playing, instead of relying on photos or local confirmation.
  • Publish the same approved communications to every site, with local notices added for individual sites.

Screen Manager: every screen and what it is playing. Screens show fictional example creatives.

Content onto a screen

Design

Templates and a visual designer for on-brand screen content.

  • Design a promotion once, schedule it by store group and publish it to every screen in the estate.
  • Show welcome messages and building information on reception screens, updated centrally for every site.

Schedule

Playlists and time slots for every screen group.

  • Plan morning, weekend and seasonal content in advance, so screens change with the trading day rather than with staff availability.
  • Schedule local notices, such as building works or site events, to the screens in that location only.
  • Rotate sponsor and partner content in playlists on concourse and hall screens.

On brand, on every screen

Content worth stopping for

Content and media management

One library for everything on screen

Images, videos, documents and web pages live in one media library, organised in folders, tagged and searchable, in list or grid view.

Teams find the approved asset quickly, and every screen draws on the same source.

Built on

  • Central media library
  • Media tags
  • Web pages and dashboards on screen

Media library: folders, images and videos (detail). Sample data.

Templates and layouts

Templates for every campaign and format

Start from a template in the gallery or from a blank canvas, in landscape, portrait or custom formats, and build on-brand content in the visual designer.

Teams produce consistent content in-house, without starting from scratch each time.

Built on

  • Template gallery
  • Landscape and portrait layouts
  • Visual designer canvas

Playlists and scheduling

Plan when every item plays

A schedule sets when each item plays: a date range, days of the week and play times. Day, week, month and year views and a timeline show the plan, and overlapping items are flagged before publishing.

Morning, weekend and seasonal content changes on time, without someone at each site.

Built on

  • Schedule builder (date range, play times, days)
  • Calendar views (day, week, month, year)
  • Timeline (Gantt) view
  • Schedule conflict flags

Schedule, week view with conflict flags. Sample data.

Playlists and scheduling

Playlists with exact timing

A playlist is an ordered loop of media, documents, designs and widgets. Set how long each item plays, then preview the full loop before publishing.

What each screen shows, and for how long, is set deliberately rather than left to chance.

Built on

  • Playlist builder
  • Playlist preview
  • Per-item duration

Playlist builder: items, durations and total loop length (detail). Sample data.

Multi-location operations

One change, every location

Organise screens into groups by region, site or department, label them with tags and place them on a map, then set content to a whole group at once.

A campaign reaches the right sites in one action, and local screens stay organised as the estate grows.

Built on

  • Screen groups
  • Screen tags
  • Set content to a screen group
  • Map view of screens

Group

Region · West

  • HQ lobby
  • Floor 3 corridor

Groups hold stable structure such as region, site or department; tags hold changing labels such as campaign, orientation or maintenance. Fictional examples.

Monitoring and administration

Know what played, and where

Each media item keeps a play record: the screens it appeared on and when it was last shown.

Teams can confirm where a campaign ran.

Built on

  • Play records per media item

One library for images, videos, documents, web pages and live widgets, organised with folders and tags.

Central media libraryStores the images, videos, audio files, documents and web pages used on screens, in list or grid view with folders, search, tags and sorting.
How it is used
User uploads files, browses list or grid view, searches by name, filters by kind or tag, sorts and moves items into folders.
The problem
Screen content held on local drives and USB sticks is hard to find, reuse and keep current across sites.
The outcome
One shared library from which every screen's content is drawn.
For example
Head-office marketing keeps approved campaign files in one library for all branches.
Media tagsApplies reusable tags to media items and filters the library through a searchable multi-select tag list.
How it is used
User adds tags to an item and filters the library from the Tags control.
The problem
Large libraries become unmanageable without a way to label content by campaign, site or format.
The outcome
Content can be filtered by campaign, location or format.
For example
Filter a library to the items tagged for one seasonal campaign.
Media preview, crop and detailsOpens a media item in a lightbox to preview it, crop it and view file details.
How it is used
User opens an item, uses the crop tool and reviews the details tab.
The problem
Content often needs small framing fixes before it fits a screen, which normally means returning to a design tool.
The outcome
Minor framing adjustments made inside the console.
For example
Crop a landscape photo to fit a portrait lobby screen.
Web pages and dashboards on screenAdds a web address as screen content so a live web page or dashboard is displayed; sites that block embedding cannot be shown.
How it is used
User opens Upload, chooses Web Pages, enters the page details, tests it and saves it for use in playlists, schedules or designs.
The problem
Operational dashboards and web content otherwise have to be screenshotted and re-uploaded to stay current.
The outcome
Screens can show a live web page instead of a static copy of it.
For example
Show an internal service dashboard on an operations-room screen.
QR code on web contentAdds an optional QR code to web-page and document content so viewers can open the page on their own device.
How it is used
User switches on Display QR Code in the link and document editors and checks the preview.
The problem
A screen cannot be clicked, so viewers have no way to follow up on web content they see.
The outcome
Viewers can open the displayed page on their own device.
For example
Lobby screen showing an events page with a QR code for registration.
AI image generationGenerates an image from a written description at a chosen aspect ratio and saves it to the media library, showing the AI credit cost before each generation.
How it is used
User selects Generate Image, describes the image, picks a ratio, reviews the displayed cost and generates.
The problem
Teams without design resource need simple visuals quickly.
The outcome
An image draft that the team reviews before use.
For example
A seasonal background image for a promotion, reviewed before it is published.

  • Clock widgetShows a digital or analogue clock in device time or a fixed UTC offset (UTC-11:00 to UTC+13:00), in 12- or 24-hour format, with optional date and seconds.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User creates a Clock widget instance, sets style, time zone, format, toggles and colours, checks the preview and saves.
    The problem
    Static content gives viewers no reason to look at a screen again.
    The outcome
    Screens show the current time without manual updates.
    For example
    Clock on reception and waiting-area screens.
  • News widgetRotates news articles filtered by source, category, country, language, keywords and date range, with slide duration and display options.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User selects or adds sources, sets filters and display options, checks the preview and saves.

    How it is used
    User sets the event and target, toggles units, picks a style and colours, checks the preview and saves.
    The problem
    Event and offer deadlines are not visible at the point of decision.
    The outcome
    Screens show time left to an event in a chosen style.
    For example
    A countdown to an opening day in a mall atrium.
  • Animated textEight effects, each with its own settings: Circular Text (direction, spin speed, letter and disc size), Split Text (letter-by-letter reveal), Blur Text (by words or letters, direction, blur amount, stagger, loop), Text Type (phrases, type and delete speed, cursor), Curved Loop (separator, direction, speed, curve shape and depth), True Focus, Rotating Text (prefix, words, suffix, effect, hold and swap time, pill accent) and Scrolling Velocity (several rows, separator, alternate rows, speed, skew, row gap). Shared typography and canvas settings.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User picks an effect, enters text, adjusts the sliders and toggles, checks the preview and selects Save & Close or Push to Screens.
    The problem
    Static text is easy to overlook.
    The outcome

    For example
    A lobby welcome message that types out 'Welcome. Good to see you.'
  • Media kind filterFilters the library by All, Images, Videos, Audio, Documents, Web Pages or Folders.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User selects a value in the Kind control.
    The problem
    Mixed libraries are slow to browse.
    The outcome
    The right type of content found quickly.
    For example
    Show only videos when building a video loop.
  • Media sortingSorts assets alphabetically, by date added, by size or by resolution, in either direction.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User selects a sort option.
    The problem
    Large or high-resolution files are hard to find.
    The outcome
    Assets ordered by the attribute that matters.
    For example
    Find the largest files before a storage review.
  • Media folders and folder actionsCreates folders that show name and item count, with actions to create a playlist from the folder, rename, move and delete.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User selects New Folder (created immediately and renamed inline) and uses the folder Actions menu.
    The problem
    Campaign assets are scattered.
    The outcome
    Assets grouped by campaign and turned into a playlist.
    For example
    Create a playlist from a campaign folder.
  • Local media uploadUploads files from the computer by drag-and-drop or Browse, with transfer progress.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User opens Upload, chooses local media and drags files or browses.
    The problem
    Getting content to screens should not need USB sticks.
    The outcome
    Files reach the library directly.
    For example
    Upload a week's campaign files in one batch.
  • Video optimisation statesShows processing states on assets: New, Is optimizing, Optimized and Un-optimized, so teams know when a video is ready for playback.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User checks the state on the asset card before using it.
    The problem
    Unprocessed video plays poorly on players.
    The outcome
    Teams deploy only prepared video.
    For example
    Wait for Optimized before scheduling a launch video.
  • Media multi-selectEnters a multi-select mode in the library for supported bulk actions.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User selects Select and ticks assets.
    The problem
    One-by-one handling is slow.
    The outcome
    Several assets handled together.
    For example
    Move a set of assets into a folder.
  • Documents as screen contentStores documents in the library and plays them in playlists with a duration per page, or inserts PDFs into designs.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User uploads a document, adds it to a playlist and sets the per-page duration.
    The problem
    Documents must be converted to images before they can be shown.
    The outcome
    Documents shown page by page without conversion.
    For example
    A safety procedure PDF on a factory-floor screen.
  • Widgets Manager catalogueA catalogue of widget types by category, with search and list or grid view.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User opens Widgets, filters by category and selects a widget type.
    The problem
    Live content needs a single place to configure.
    The outcome
    All live-content types configured in one place.
    For example
    Browse available widgets for a lobby screen.
  • Reusable widget instancesSaves a named widget configuration as an instance that can be added to playlists, schedules and designs.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User selects New Instance, names it, configures it, checks the live preview and saves.
    The problem
    Reconfiguring the same widget for each use wastes time.
    The outcome
    One configuration reused across content.
    For example
    One branded clock instance used in every lobby playlist.
  • Live preview in widget editorsWidget editors (Menu, Counter, Animated Text, YouTube) share a top bar with a Draft label, Preview, Push to Screens, Save & Close and a more menu. The menu editor shows the output resolution (16:9 · 1920×1080) and the active layout and theme above the live preview, and states 'Edits on the left update this preview instantly.'Content and media management
    How it is used
    User edits on the left, checks the preview on the right, then saves or pushes to screens.
    The problem
    Changes that cannot be checked before they reach screens cause visible errors.
    The outcome
    Edits are checked before publishing to screens.
    For example
    Preview a countdown before saving it.
  • Links widgetDisplays a web page from a URL with Allow Interaction, Refresh Interval, Auto Scroll and Display QR Code options, with inline and screen previews.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User enters the URL, sets options, checks the previews and saves.
    The problem
    Web content goes stale when captured as images.
    The outcome
    Live web content with refresh and optional QR.
    For example
    A self-refreshing internal status page on an operations screen.
  • Google Sheets widgetDisplays a Google Sheets document with interaction, refresh, auto-scroll and QR options.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User enters the Sheets URL, sets options and saves.
    The problem
    Teams keep figures and lists in Google Sheets.
    The outcome
    Screens show the sheet, with refresh and auto-scroll options, without re-uploading it.
    For example
    A team dashboard kept in Google Sheets on an office screen.
  • Google Docs widgetDisplays a Google Docs document with interaction, refresh, auto-scroll and QR options.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User enters the Docs URL, sets options and saves.
    The problem
    Notices and procedures are often written in Google Docs.
    The outcome
    Documents appear on screen without converting them first.
    For example
    A procedure document on a staff-room screen.
  • Google Slides widgetDisplays a Google Slides presentation with interaction, refresh, auto-scroll and QR options.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User enters the Slides URL, sets options and saves.
    The problem
    Presentations are prepared in Google Slides.
    The outcome
    Slides run on screen without exporting them first.
    For example
    A weekly announcements deck on lobby screens.
  • Tags on playlists, schedules and designsApplies the same reusable tags to playlists, schedules and designs for filtering.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User selects Add Tag on a playlist, schedule or design.
    The problem
    Content cannot be filtered by campaign across types.
    The outcome
    Related content found across types by tag.
    For example
    Filter all items tagged for one campaign.
  • Menu board widget: content editorA menu widget with a heading (restaurant name, tagline, logo) and categories of items. Each item has a name, short description, price, optional photo and calories. Items can be marked Featured, hidden or Sold out, and moved up or down. Toggles show or hide item descriptions, calories and featured badges on the board.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User opens the menu in the editor, adds a category, then adds items through an Add product dialog. The live preview beside the editor shows the board at 16:9, 1920×1080. An empty menu shows a 'Start your menu' prompt.
    The problem
    Printed or static menus are slow to change and drift from what is actually on sale.
    The outcome
    Menu content is edited in one place and checked in a preview before it goes to screens.
    For example
    A café keeps its hot drinks, cold drinks and bakery items on one board and marks a sold-out item.
  • Menu item sizes and price optionsEach item has either a single price or a list of sizes or options. Each option has a label, a price, an optional image and an optional tag. The board shows options side by side (for example S 12, M 15, L 18). A notice warns when many options make each one show too briefly, and points to the page time setting.Content and media management
    How it is used
    In the Add product dialog the user picks Single price or Sizes / options, adds rows with Add size / option, and deletes rows with the bin icon.
    The problem
    Drinks and dishes sold in several sizes are hard to show clearly on one board.
    The outcome
    Size prices appear next to the item instead of in separate lines.
    For example
    A coffee shop shows small, medium and large prices for one drink.
  • Menu board layouts and orientationThree display types: With images (thumbnail per item), Text only (list) and Image grid (large photo tiles). Columns can be Auto, 1, 2 or 3. Image grid has an Items per screen choice (Auto, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8). Orientation is Landscape or Portrait; portrait re-flows the layout for tall screens.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User picks the display type, columns and orientation on the Design tab and checks the live preview.
    The problem
    One menu design rarely fits every screen size and venue.
    The outcome
    One menu can be shown as a photo menu, a plain list or a photo grid, in landscape or portrait.
    For example
    A text-only menu on a narrow portrait screen and a photo grid on a wide screen.
  • Arabic, right-to-left and local currency on menusA Direction setting switches the board between left-to-right and right-to-left (labelled for Arabic, Farsi and other RTL languages). In RTL the font list shows Arabic-ready fonts (Cairo, Tajawal, IBM Plex Arabic, Almarai, Amiri, Reem Kufi) and the header mirrors. A Currency menu sets the price currency (Saudi Riyal shown). Calories can be shown per item.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User selects RTL on the Design tab, picks an Arabic font and a currency, and checks the preview.
    The problem
    Menus for Arabic-speaking customers need correct right-to-left layout and local prices.
    The outcome
    One menu can be shown in a right-to-left layout with Arabic fonts and riyal prices.
    For example
    A bilingual café board in Saudi Arabia priced in SAR.
  • Menu pages and rotationLong menus can be split into readable pages that rotate on screen. The user sets the time on each page in seconds (8 shown; longer values allowed). A page indicator (for example 3 / 4) can be shown. In Image grid, each category gets its own screen and the screens rotate.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User turns on Auto-split long menus, sets Time on each page and turns the page indicator on or off.
    The problem
    Long menus become unreadable when squeezed onto one screen.
    The outcome
    Long menus stay legible across several pages.
    For example
    A large breakfast menu that rotates over four pages.
  • Menu theme presets and saved themesSix starting themes (Café Cream, Espresso, Chalkboard, Fresh, Noir, Minimal) with editable Accent, Text and Background colours. A changed theme shows as 'Custom · based on …' and can be saved under a name or reset.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User picks a preset, edits colours, then selects Save theme, types a name and saves.
    The problem
    Menus need to match each brand without designing from scratch.
    The outcome
    A branded theme can be saved and applied again.
    For example
    A chain saves its brand palette as a theme.
  • Advanced menu theme customisationA Customize theme panel with colours for eight roles (headings and names, descriptions, calories and leaders, prices and accents, dividers and rules, thumbnail surface, thumbnail border, featured highlight). Background can be a colour, gradient, image or looping video, with a readability scrim on media. Header settings: six layouts (Split, Split flip, Centered, Stacked, Banner, Minimal), title and logo size, tagline, rule style, colour and weight. Layout settings: density, corners, featured style and dividers. An optional footer note line.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User opens Customize theme from the Design tab, changes settings and watches the live preview.
    The problem
    Generic menu templates rarely match a brand's look.
    The outcome
    Fine control over a menu's look without design tools.
    For example
    A restaurant adds a VAT notice in the footer and uses its brand colours.
  • Colour contrast check for menusWhen colours change, the theme panel shows contrast ratios for text and prices (for example Text: Good 15.7:1, Prices: Low 4.4:1) and warns 'Prices may be hard to read. Darken the color.'Content and media management
    How it is used
    User adjusts colours and reads the contrast labels and warning.
    The problem
    Low-contrast menus are hard to read from a distance.
    The outcome
    Readability problems are flagged while the menu is designed.
    For example
    A designer darkens a price colour after a low-contrast warning.
  • Widget background styles: solid, gradient presets and imageCounter and Animated text widgets offer a background of Gradient (six presets: Aurora, Sunset, Ocean, Midnight, Ember, Graphite), Solid colour or Image. Image backgrounds accept an upload or an image URL, with Cover or Contain fit and an optional overlay tint with colour and opacity.Content and media management
    How it is used
    User chooses Gradient, Solid or Image under Background and picks a preset, colour or image.
    The problem
    Widgets look out of place when they do not match the venue or brand.
    The outcome
    Widget backgrounds can be matched to the setting without a separate design.
    For example
    A countdown shown over a photo of the venue with a dark tint.
  • Usage visibility and protection for content in useShows where each media item is assigned and blocks deletion of content that is still in use, explaining what depends on it.Content and media management
    How it is used
    A library user sees assignment chips on items and, when deleting, is told which content still uses the item.
    The problem
    Deleting a file that is still playing breaks playlists, designs or screens.
    The outcome
    Library clean-ups do not accidentally remove live content.
    For example
    A brand team tidies old imagery and is warned that one logo is still used in a live design.
  • Document display modes: slide or scrollPDF documents play page by page either as slides with a transition or as a scroll, continuous or one page at a time, with a set time per page.Content and media management
    How it is used
    The editor uploads the document and chooses slide or scroll and the time per page.
    The problem
    Long brochures and price lists are hard to read when pages simply flip.
    The outcome
    Documents shown in the way that suits their layout without converting them first.
    For example
    A clinic scrolls a multi-page information leaflet on a portrait screen.
  • Automatic video optimisation in several qualitiesUploaded MP4 videos are automatically converted into up to three streaming qualities (up to 1080p, never upscaled), each checked before it is published, plus a single playback file where it can be produced, while the original stays unchanged.Content and media management
    How it is used
    Staff upload a video and wait for the Optimized state; no preparation is needed.
    The problem
    Large or high-bitrate videos stutter on modest media players.
    The outcome
    Smooth playback with less bandwidth and no manual video preparation.
    For example
    A marketing team uploads an agency 4K advert and it plays smoothly on low-cost players.
  • Live widgets keep their last good dataMarket widgets retry when a data refresh fails and keep showing the last good information instead of an error.Content and media management
    How it is used
    No action needed; widgets refresh on their own.
    The problem
    A failed data feed otherwise leaves an error panel on a public screen.
    The outcome
    Fewer error panels on live-data screens.
    For example
    A lobby market board keeps showing the last prices during a short provider outage.
  • Duplicate a media itemCopies a file in the media library to a new item on the same storage, with any half-written copy removed if the copy fails.Content and media management
    How it is used
    A user chooses duplicate on an item in the media library.
    The problem
    Creating a variant of a file means uploading it again.
    The outcome
    Quick copies without re-uploading.
    For example
    A marketing user copies a promotional video before editing its playlist placement.
  • Upload checked against available storage before transferBefore a large file is sent, its size is checked against free storage, so a too-large upload is refused at the start with a clear message instead of failing halfway.Content and media management
    How it is used
    A user uploads a file; if there is no room the application shows an upload error straight away.
    The problem
    Long uploads that fail at the end waste time.
    The outcome
    Early refusal when there is no room.
    For example
    A user uploading a large video is told at once that it cannot be stored, instead of after a long transfer.
  • Playlist builderBuilds an ordered playback loop from media, documents, designs and widget instances, with a duration for each item and the total loop duration shown.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User creates a playlist, adds items from the searchable content panel, drags them into order and sets durations.
    The problem
    Rotating several messages on one screen without a sequence tool means repeated manual changes.
    The outcome
    Several messages rotate on a screen in a defined order and timing.
    For example
    Lobby loop of welcome message, company news and safety notice.
  • Playlist fade between itemsSets a fade duration between playlist items in the playlist settings.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User opens playlist Settings and sets the fade duration.
    The problem
    Abrupt cuts between items look unfinished on customer-facing screens.
    The outcome
    Smoother changes between items.
    For example
    Fade between items on a showroom screen.
  • Playlist previewPlays the complete playlist loop in a preview page before it is published.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User selects Preview in the builder; the loop plays in a separate preview view.
    The problem
    Errors in order or timing are otherwise found only on the live screen.
    The outcome
    The sequence is checked before it reaches screens.
    For example
    Check a new campaign loop before it goes to all stores.
  • Schedule builder (date range, play times, days)Defines when content plays through recurrence (continuous, weekly or specific dates), start and end dates, active weekdays and a daily play time or all day.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User creates a schedule, adds content from the content panel and sets recurrence, dates, days and play time for each row.
    The problem
    Content that should change by time of day or week is changed by hand or not at all.
    The outcome
    Content changes on a planned timetable without manual intervention.
    For example
    Morning offers on weekdays and a different loop at weekends.
  • Calendar views (day, week, month, year)Shows schedules on day, week, month and year calendar views.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User switches between calendar ranges.
    The problem
    Planners cannot see how content is distributed across a season.
    The outcome
    Planned content is visible at any time range.
    For example
    Plan a quarter of seasonal campaigns.
  • Timeline (Gantt) viewShows schedules on an hour-by-hour timeline to spot gaps and overlaps.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User switches to the timeline view.
    The problem
    Gaps and overlaps in programming are hard to see in a list.
    The outcome
    Gaps and overlaps are visible before they reach screens.
    For example
    Review a week of programming for a flagship store.
  • Schedule conflict flagsFlags overlapping schedule items and lists the conflicts.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User sees a conflict marker and expands the conflict list.
    The problem
    Overlapping schedules cause the wrong content to play without anyone noticing.
    The outcome
    Overlaps are flagged before publication.
    For example
    Two teams schedule different content on the same screens for the same hour.
  • Live now, upcoming and ended filtersFilters schedules by status to see what is playing now, what is coming and what has ended.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User picks a status filter.
    The problem
    Operators cannot quickly tell what is on air across the network.
    The outcome
    Current and upcoming programming is visible at a glance.
    For example
    Check which campaigns are live at opening time.
  • Assign schedules to screens and groupsAssigns a published schedule to selected screens or screen groups through the screen selector.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User publishes the schedule, then searches, filters by tag, chooses Screens or Groups, checks the selected count and confirms.
    The problem
    Applying the same timetable screen by screen is slow and inconsistent.
    The outcome
    One schedule applies to every screen in the chosen groups.
    For example
    Apply a national campaign schedule to all store groups.
  • Schedule previewPreviews the content a schedule will play.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User opens Preview on a schedule.
    The problem
    Errors are found only on live screens.
    The outcome

    For example
    Check a holiday schedule before it starts.
  • Playlist libraryLists playlists with preview, name, assigned-screen count and item count, with search, tags, list or grid view and a direct Set To Screen control.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User browses the library and selects Set To Screen or New Playlist.
    The problem
    It is unclear where each playlist is used.
    The outcome
    Usage of each playlist visible before changes.
    For example
    Check how many screens use a playlist before editing it.
  • Playlist actionsDuplicate, Rename, Info and Delete actions on each playlist.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User opens Playlist actions on a card.
    The problem
    Revising live content risks losing the previous version.
    The outcome
    Approved versions can be duplicated before revision.
    For example
    Duplicate an approved loop before a seasonal update.
  • Total loop duration and assigned screens in the builderThe builder shows the total loop duration and the current assigned-screen count while editing.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User reads the values in the builder header.
    The problem
    Loop length and impact are unknown while editing.
    The outcome
    Editors see loop length and how many screens a change affects.
    For example
    Keep a lobby loop under a set length.
  • Per-item durationSets each item's duration in hours, minutes and seconds; documents can use a per-page duration and videos keep their own length.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User edits the duration on a playlist row.
    The problem
    Uniform timing does not suit mixed content.
    The outcome
    Each item shown for the right time.
    For example
    Show a menu image longer than a promotion clip.
  • Bulk duration with presetsApplies one duration to all still items using presets of 5, 10, 15 and 30 seconds, 1 and 5 minutes, or a custom value; videos keep their original length.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User opens the bulk duration dialog, picks a preset and selects Apply to all.
    The problem
    Setting durations item by item is slow.
    The outcome
    A whole loop retimed in one step.
    For example
    Set every image in a new loop to 10 seconds.
  • Remove all itemsBulk action that deletes all items from a playlist.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User selects the delete-all bulk action and confirms.
    The problem
    Rebuilding a loop needs a clean start.
    The outcome
    A playlist emptied in one step.
    For example
    Clear an expired campaign loop before rebuilding.
  • Playlist colourSets a colour for the playlist in its settings.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used

    The outcome
    Playlists identified at a glance.
    For example
    Colour-code playlists by region.
  • Drag-to-reorder playlist itemsReorders playlist items with drag handles.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User drags rows into the required order.
    The problem
    Changing order should not mean rebuilding.
    The outcome
    Sequence changed in seconds.
    For example
    Move the safety notice to the start of the loop.
  • Schedule libraryLists schedules with preview, Draft or Published status, assigned-screen count, item count and aspect ratio, with Set to Screen and Rename, Duplicate, Add Tag, Info and Delete actions.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User browses the library and opens a schedule or its actions.
    The problem
    Draft and live schedules are easily confused.
    The outcome
    Status and usage visible per schedule.
    For example
    Review which schedules are still drafts before a launch.
  • Schedule content panel and filtersA content panel lists images, videos, documents, playlists, designs and widget instances, filtered by All, Media, Design, Widget or Play List and by Published or Unpublished, with search.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User filters and searches the panel, then selects a card to add it.
    The problem
    Finding the right item among many is slow.
    The outcome
    The right content found and added.
    For example
    Add only published playlists to a campaign schedule.
  • Scheduled rowsEach scheduled row shows content name and type, recurrence, date range, time range or All day, and a preview.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User reviews and edits rows in the builder.
    The problem
    Timing rules are hard to review.
    The outcome
    Every rule visible on one line.
    For example
    Review a month's campaign rows before approval.
  • Recurrence: continuous date spanPlays content continuously between a start and an end date.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User selects Continuous and sets start and end dates.
    The problem
    Campaigns need a defined run.
    The outcome
    Content starts and stops on set dates.
    For example
    A seasonal campaign from 1 to 31 December.
  • Recurrence: weekly with weekday selectionRepeats content on a weekly pattern on selected weekdays (SUN to SAT).Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User selects Weekly and toggles the weekday chips.
    The problem
    Weekday and weekend audiences differ.
    The outcome
    Content follows the week.
    For example
    Weekend family offers, weekday business content.
  • Recurrence: specific datesPlays content on an explicit list of dates.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    User selects Specific Dates and adds individual dates.
    The problem
    Events fall on irregular dates.
    The outcome

    For example
    Colour-code schedules by campaign.
  • Schedule and campaign alertsSends notifications when a scheduled campaign starts, ends or is about to expire, and when a schedule conflict is detected.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    Content managers receive the alerts in the notifications inbox and open the schedule to act.
    The problem
    Campaigns lapse or clash without anyone noticing until the wrong content is on screen.
    The outcome
    Teams can extend, replace or fix campaigns before they end or collide.
    For example
    A marketing team is warned that a seasonal promotion is about to expire and schedules its replacement in time.
  • Draft and published versions with automatic screen updatesPlaylists, designs, widgets, web pages and schedules keep a draft separate from the published version; screens keep playing the last published version while edits are made, and republishing updates every assigned screen automatically. Save and publish can be done in one step.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    A content editor edits a draft, then selects Publish or Save and publish; assigned screens refresh on their own.
    The problem
    Editing live content risks showing half-finished work on screens.
    The outcome
    Safe editing with changes reaching every assigned screen only when the team chooses to publish.
    For example
    A head-office team prepares next week's menu playlist during trading hours and publishes it when ready.
  • Playlist transition effectsOffers transitions between playlist items: slide (right, left, up or down), fade, scale, scale with fade, or rotation, each with an adjustable duration; the preview plays the same transitions.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    A content manager opens Playlist settings, chooses a transition and duration, and checks it in Preview.
    The problem
    Abrupt cuts between items look unpolished on customer-facing screens.
    The outcome
    Smoother, more professional loops that look the same in preview and on screen.
    For example
    A hotel lobby loop slides between event notices and fades into promotional video.
  • Schedule priority and on-time switchingWhen schedule entries overlap, specific-date entries take priority over weekly entries, which take priority over the always-on default loop, and the screen switches at the exact moment a time window ends.Playlists and scheduling
    How it is used
    The administrator builds date, weekly and default entries in one schedule; the screen applies the priority automatically.
    The problem
    Campaign and daypart content needs to override the everyday loop without manual changes.
    The outcome
    Special-date content wins automatically and changes happen on time.
    For example
    A holiday promotion replaces the normal weekday menu loop on the holiday only.
  • Screen Manager with now-playing statusLists every registered screen with Live/Offline state, name and current content, in list, grid or map view.Screen and device management
    How it is used
    User opens Screens and scans the cards or list; each shows status and what is playing.
    The problem
    Head office cannot see what each location's screen is showing without local confirmation.
    The outcome
    The current state of every screen is visible from one view.
    For example
    Head office checks that all branches show the new campaign.
    Product screen
    Screen Manager: every screen and what it is playing
  • Register a screen by player screen IDRegisters a display by entering the screen ID shown by the Nexus Player into Add Screen and completing the screen details.Screen and device management
    How it is used
    Installer opens Nexus Player on the device, reads the screen ID and enters it in Screens > Add Screen, then waits for Live status.
    The problem
    Device onboarding that needs technical set-up at each site slows rollouts.
    The outcome
    Displays are added to the account by entering a code.
    For example
    Local implementer onboards new screens during a store fit-out.
  • Operating hours per screenSets each screen to run 24/7 or within working hours.Screen and device management
    How it is used
    User opens Operating Hours in the Screen Manager toolbar.
    The problem
    Screens left on outside opening hours waste energy and shorten display life.
    The outcome
    Screens follow the site's opening hours.
    For example
    Branch screens active only during opening hours.
  • Screen info and device detailsOpens a telemetry drawer for a screen with expandable sections for the device, its platform, processor, memory, storage, active decoder and video codecs, depending on the player.Screen and device management
    How it is used
    User selects Screen Info on a screen card or the screen page and expands the sections.
    The problem
    Diagnosing a screen problem usually starts with a site visit to identify the hardware.

    The problem
    Grids become slow to scan in large estates.
    The outcome
    Status compared across many screens at once.
    For example
    IT reviews 200 screens for offline status.
  • Screen card actionsEach screen card offers Set Content, Rename (inline), Add Tag, Set location, Screen Info and Delete Screen.Screen and device management
    How it is used
    User opens the card or row actions menu and chooses an action.
    The problem
    Routine screen changes should not need a separate page.
    The outcome
    Common screen tasks run from the list.
    For example
    Rename a screen to the site naming standard.
  • Screen detail pageA page per screen with breadcrumbs, name and connectivity state, Refresh, Screen Info, Live view, Fullscreen, Push content and the Now Playing item.Screen and device management
    How it is used

    The outcome
    Resource problems are visible remotely.
    For example
    IT spots a player running out of storage.
  • Screen details from the consoleSets a screen's name, notes and location from its page.Screen and device management
    How it is used
    User opens the screen page, edits the name, notes or location and saves.
    The problem
    Screen records drift out of date as displays are moved and renamed.
    The outcome
    Screen records stay accurate without a site visit.
    For example
    Rename a screen and record its new location after it is moved.
  • Screen identifiers and audit valuesShows the screen note, screen ID, registry ID, creation and update audit values and bundle status, with copy controls.Screen and device management
    How it is used
    User reads or copies values from the Screen details group.
    The problem

  • Telemetry: active decoder and video codecsTelemetry sections showing the active decoder and supported video codec MIME types with hardware or software capability.Screen and device management
    How it is used
    User expands the Active Decoder and Video Codecs sections.
    The problem
    Video that will not play on a device is often a codec issue.
    The outcome
    Codec support is checked before a video campaign.
    For example
    Check codec support before sending a new video format.
  • Auto-refreshing screen previewThe screen page shows a thumbnail of the current content that refreshes every few seconds while the screen is online, with an 'updated N seconds ago' indicator; offline screens show the last frame frozen and greyed.Screen and device management
    How it is used
    Support staff open a screen page and check the preview and its update time.
    The problem
    Staff cannot tell from the console whether a remote screen is showing the expected content.
    The outcome
    A quick remote view of a screen's current content, and an obvious signal when it is offline.
    For example
    A support desk confirms that a lobby screen in another city is showing the morning schedule.
  • Nexus Surveys surveys on signage screensA survey published from Nexus Surveys can be assigned to a signage screen, and republishing the survey updates the playing screens without reconnecting them.Screen and device management
    How it is used
    An administrator assigns the survey to a screen; survey owners republish changes from Nexus Surveys.
    The problem
    Running feedback and signage on separate hardware duplicates devices and effort.
    The outcome
    One screen estate serves both signage and customer feedback.
    For example
    A clinic shows its waiting-room playlist and a patient feedback survey on the same kiosk screen.
  • Live updates without interrupting playbackScreens keep a live connection to the console, so published or reassigned content appears within seconds; a republish that changes nothing does not interrupt what is playing, and only edited design elements update.Screen and device management
    How it is used
    The administrator publishes or assigns content; the screen updates by itself.
    The problem
    Urgent changes otherwise wait for a visit, a restart or a polling cycle.
    The outcome
    Changes reach connected displays without a visit or restart, and unchanged republishes do not interrupt playback.
    For example
    Operations pushes a changed opening-hours notice to all lobby screens at once.
  • Automatic and on-request screenshotsEach screen sends a picture of what it is showing every minute and on request, so the console can confirm the right content is on the right display.Screen and device management
    How it is used
    Support or a manager opens the screen page and views or requests the latest screenshot.
    The problem
    Checking a remote screen otherwise means a site visit or a phone call.
    The outcome
    Remote visual confirmation of each screen.
    For example
    A regional manager checks that the new campaign is showing in every branch.
  • AI Designer (design from a text description)An AI Designer mode turns a written idea into a design draft, showing the AI credit cost before submission.Templates and layouts
    How it is used
    User selects Generate Design, types the idea in the prompt and submits; Search Designs returns to normal search.
    The problem
    Teams without design resource need a first layout quickly.
    The outcome
    A design draft that the team reviews and edits in the designer.
    For example
    A first layout for a new campaign, refined in the designer.
  • AI image editing in the designerAn image in a design can be edited by describing the change, for example removing the background or improving the lighting, with up to three reference images.Templates and layouts
    How it is used
    A designer selects an image, opens AI edit, writes the instruction and applies the result.
    The problem
    Simple image fixes need a separate graphics tool or a designer.
    The outcome
    Quick image clean-ups without leaving the designer.
    For example
    A café removes the background from a product photo before placing it on a promotion.
  • Template galleryProvides a Template Gallery to start a design from; opening a template creates an editable draft copy that is independent of the catalogue template.Templates and layouts
    How it is used
    User browses the Template Gallery, opens a template, renames the draft copy and edits it.
    The problem
    Producing every screen layout from scratch requires design resource that local teams often lack.
    The outcome
    Teams start from a prepared layout instead of a blank canvas.
    For example
    Branch staff adapt a prepared notice template for a local announcement.
    Product screen
    Setting content on a screen from templates
  • Template search and tag filteringSearches templates by name and filters them by tag.Templates and layouts
    How it is used
    User types in the template search or picks tags from a dropdown.
    The problem
    Finding the right layout slows down as the template set grows.
    The outcome
    Templates can be found by name or tag.
    For example
    Find all portrait templates tagged for a menu or promotion.
  • Landscape and portrait layoutsBuilds designs for the target screen shape: canvas sizes 16:9, 16:10, 4:3, 21:9, 9:16 portrait or custom, with library filtering by aspect ratio.Templates and layouts

    User picks the canvas size in the editor toolbar and filters the library by ratio (All, 16:9, 9:16, 21:9, 1:1, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 4:5, 5:4).
    The problem
    Mixed estates of landscape and portrait screens need content built to fit each.
    The outcome
    Content is built to the shape of the screen it plays on.
    For example
    Portrait totem at an entrance and landscape screen at a counter from the same campaign.
  • Visual designer canvasLayered canvas for composing a screen from text, photos, videos, links, RSS, PDFs, playlists, widgets and containers, with properties for position, size, fill, border, shadow and animation.Templates and layouts
    How it is used
    User adds layers from the content tools, selects them in the Layers panel and edits their properties.
    The problem
    Simple screen changes otherwise depend on a designer and external design software.
    The outcome
    Teams compose and edit screen content in the console.
    For example
    Marketing assembles a promotion screen from a product image, price text and a clock.
  • Typography controls and font uploadThe font picker offers suggested fonts, the full Google Fonts library with search and Sans, Serif, Display, Handwriting and Mono filters, Arabic-ready fonts for right-to-left text, and Upload a font (TTF, OTF, WOFF, WOFF2).

  • Publish a design to screens or groups from the designerSends a saved design to selected screens or screen groups from the editor or the design library.Multi-location operations
    How it is used
    User selects Push to Screens (editor) or Set to Screen (library), filters and selects screens or groups, checks the selected count and confirms.
    The problem
    Moving a finished design into a playlist or schedule before it can play adds steps for urgent changes.
    The outcome
    A finished design can be sent to the intended screens from where it was created.
    For example
    Push an urgent notice to all screens in one site group.
  • Screen groupsOrganises screens into named groups for stable structure such as region, site or department, and targets content at a whole group.Multi-location operations
    How it is used
    User selects New Group, enters a name and selects Done; groups appear as cards and as a tab in the screen selector.
    The problem
    Managing a large estate screen by screen does not scale.
    The outcome
    Content and settings are applied to many screens at once.
    For example
    Group screens by region, store and floor.
  • Screen tagsLabels screens with reusable tags for changing classifications such as campaign, orientation or maintenance state, and filters screens by tag.Multi-location operations
    How it is used
    User selects Add Tag on a screen card or filters with the Tags checklist.
    The problem
    Screens need to be filtered by more than one attribute, such as orientation and department.
    The outcome
    Screens can be found and targeted by any label.
    For example
    Target all portrait screens tagged 'Sales'.
  • Select and act on multiple screensSelects several screens or groups with checkboxes, including Select All, to act on them together.Multi-location operations
    How it is used
    User selects Select, ticks cards or uses Select All ({count}), then chooses an available bulk command.
    The problem
    Repeating the same action screen by screen wastes time.
    The outcome
    One action applies to a selection of screens.
    For example
    Assign new content to ten selected screens.
  • Set content to a screenAssigns a schedule, playlist, media item, design or widget instance to a screen from one selector with search, tags, previews and upload.Multi-location operations
    How it is used
    User selects Set Content on a screen card, picks a tab (Schedules, Playlists, Media, Designs, Widgets), selects the item and confirms.
    The problem
    Changing what one screen shows is slow when it requires building a schedule.
    The outcome
    A screen's content can be changed directly.
    For example
    Replace one screen's content for a local event.
    Product screen
    Setting content on a screen from templates
  • Set content to a screen groupAssigns content to every screen in a group in one step.Multi-location operations
    How it is used
    User selects a group and chooses Set Content To Group.
    The problem
    Updating a whole site's screens one by one delays rollouts.
    The outcome
    All screens in a group change content together.
    For example
    Push a safety notice to every screen in one building.
  • Map view of screensShows screens with saved coordinates on a map with clustered markers; selecting a cluster opens a side panel listing those screens with status and current content.Multi-location operations
    How it is used
    User switches to Map, selects a marker or cluster and works from the Screens side panel.
    The problem
    Status of a geographically spread estate is hard to read from a list.
    The outcome
    Offline locations are visible on a map.
    For example
    Regional manager spots an offline screen in one city.
  • Set screen locationSaves a screen's latitude and longitude, positioned on a map, so it appears in map view.Multi-location operations
    How it is used
    User selects Set location, enters coordinates or positions the map, and saves.
    The problem
    Screens without locations cannot be found geographically.
    The outcome
    Every screen can be placed on the map.
    For example
    Installer records the coordinates of a new outlet screen.
  • Map clusters and screens side panelClusters nearby screen markers; selecting a cluster opens a side panel with search, an All Screens filter, screen rows, Add Tag, current content and status.Multi-location operations
    How it is used
    User selects a cluster on the map and works in the side panel.
    The problem
    Dense locations are unreadable on a map.
    The outcome
    Screens at one site are reviewed together from the map.
    For example
    Regional manager opens a city cluster to check its screens.
  • Change Now Playing from the screen pageChanges the content a screen is playing from its page, or pushes content to it directly.Multi-location operations
    How it is used
    User selects Change on the Now Playing item or Push content, picks content and confirms.
    The problem
    Urgent changes to one screen take too many steps.
    The outcome
    One screen's content changes from its own page.
    For example
    Replace a lobby screen's content for a VIP visit.
  • Publish, then assign to screensPlaylists, schedules and designs are published and then assigned to selected screens or groups; publication and assignment are separate steps.Multi-location operations
    How it is used
    User selects Publish, then selects targets in the screen selector and confirms.
    The problem
    Content must be approved before it reaches screens.
    The outcome
    A publication step before screen assignment.
    For example
    Publish an approved playlist and assign it to a test screen first.
  • Screen selector for assignmentShared target picker with search, tag filter, Add Screen, Select All, Screens and Groups tabs, selected count, last-seen time, online status and current content.Multi-location operations
    How it is used
    User filters, selects screens or groups, checks the selected count and confirms.
    The problem
    Assigning to the wrong screens is easy in large estates.
    The outcome
    Targets checked before confirmation.
    For example
    Assign a campaign to all screens tagged "Portrait" in one region.
  • Organisation-wide splash screenSets the fallback image shown on screens when no active content is assigned; PNG, JPG or WebP within the limits shown.Multi-location operations
    How it is used
    Admin opens Settings > Splash Screen, selects Replace, uploads the image and selects Save Changes.
    The problem
    Screens without content show a blank or error state.
    The outcome
    Unassigned screens show an approved branded image.
    For example
    A neutral branded holding image across the estate.
  • Group content with screen-level overrideScreens in a group play the group's content unless a screen has its own assignment, so one screen can be given different content without leaving its group.Multi-location operations
    How it is used
    An operator assigns content to a group and, where needed, sets different content on individual screens.
    The problem
    Estates need consistent content by site with occasional local exceptions.
    The outcome
    Consistent group-wide content with simple local exceptions.
    For example
    A bank assigns a branch-wide playlist to every branch group but gives one flagship branch screen a launch campaign.
  • Drag-and-drop screen organisationMoves screens between groups by drag and drop on the Screens page; groups can be created, collapsed and deleted, and collapsed groups and the chosen view are remembered.Multi-location operations
    How it is used
    An operator drags screens into the right group on the Screens page.
    The problem
    Reorganising a large estate screen by screen through forms is slow.
    The outcome
    Faster restructuring of screen groups as sites and departments change.
    For example
    A facilities team regroups screens after merging two office floors.
  • Virtual Screen (browser)Runs a screen in a web browser, showing a pairing state when empty and assigned content when live.Player and display support
    How it is used
    User opens a virtual screen and pairs it; it then plays assigned content.
    The problem
    Testing content needs physical hardware.
    The outcome
    Content can be checked in a browser before rollout.
    For example
    Marketing reviews a campaign in a browser tab.
  • On-screen player settings panelA side panel opened on the screen itself (press and hold, or hold OK on a remote) shows the screen name and player version and offers orientation, original or stretch fit, Refresh, Reset Pairing, Clear Cache and Restart, plus switches for launch on start-up, mute, touch interaction, full screen, logging and software decoding.Player and display support
    How it is used
    An installer or on-site staff member opens the panel on the display, changes a setting or runs an action and closes it.
    The problem
    Fixing a misbehaving screen otherwise needs a laptop, portal access or a support call.
    The outcome
    Common on-site fixes take minutes without the portal.
    For example
    A technician rotates a portrait-mounted display and clears its cache during installation.
  • Offline playback from the local cacheScreens keep playing their last assigned content when the network or server is down, including after a restart, because the player saves the latest assignment and downloads media files to the device. When the connection returns, the screen picks up any changes.Player and display support
    How it is used
    No configuration: the administrator assigns content as usual and the player fills its cache on first play.
    The problem
    Unreliable connections in shops, kiosks and transport sites otherwise leave screens blank.
    The outcome
    Screens with cached content keep playing during outages, and repeat bandwidth falls after the first download.
    For example
    A store with patchy internet keeps its promotion loop running through a connection drop.
  • Nexus Player download from the consoleA Supported Players card on the Dashboard gives access to the player download or the list of supported platforms.Player and display support
    How it is used
    User opens the Supported Players card on the Dashboard.
    The problem
    Installers need the correct player software for each display.
    The outcome
    Player software is obtained from the console.
    For example
    An implementer downloads the player before a store fit-out.
  • Video compatibility check before assignmentChecks each video in the content being assigned against the formats the target screen's player platform supports, and reports incompatible screens with the reason instead of assigning content they cannot play.Player and display support
    How it is used
    A content manager assigns content as usual and sees which screens were refused and why.
    The problem
    Unsupported video formats cause black or frozen screens after a campaign goes live.
    The outcome
    Fewer playback failures and a clear reason for each refused screen.
    For example
    A network operator assigns a new video campaign to mixed hardware and is told which older players cannot play it.
  • Video quality matched to each screenThe player measures the device's processor, memory, video decoder, display size and temperature, gives it a capability level and plays the highest quality within that level, downloading only that quality.Player and display support
    How it is used
    No action needed; an installer can view or override the level in the on-screen settings panel.
    The problem
    Mixed estates of cheap and high-end players otherwise need videos tuned per device.
    The outcome
    Each screen plays a quality its hardware can handle, with fewer playback problems on weaker devices.
    For example
    A chain runs the same video on older media boxes and new displays without separate files.
  • Self-recovering video playbackThe player detects frozen or black video, recreates the player, falls back from the optimised stream to the original file and switches to software decoding when hardware decoding fails.Player and display support
    How it is used
    No action needed; an installer can switch software decoding manually in the settings panel.
    The problem
    Unattended screens can freeze without anyone noticing.
    The outcome
    Fewer frozen screens and site visits.
    For example
    A screen in an unattended corridor recovers from a stalled video by itself.
  • Auto-start and kiosk full screenOn supported media players the player starts by itself after the device powers up and runs full screen in kiosk mode, with remote-control navigation on TV devices.Player and display support
    How it is used
    The installer accepts the permission prompts at first start and leaves Launch on start-up on.
    The problem
    Screens left on a home screen after a power cut need someone on site.
    The outcome
    Displays return to their content after power cuts without a visit.
    For example
    A restaurant's menu boards come back by themselves after the nightly power-off.
  • Clear set-up and connection status on screenDuring set-up the screen shows its pairing code and QR code, a 'connecting' state once linked, and a plain message when it cannot reach the server; tapping the code copies it.Player and display support
    How it is used
    The installer reads the code or the message on screen and passes it to the administrator or support.
    The problem
    Installers cannot tell why a new screen shows nothing.
    The outcome
    A visible reason when a screen cannot connect and faster first-time set-up.
    For example
    Support asks the installer what message the screen shows.
  • Designs look on screen as they do in the designerThe player bundles fonts that match common designer fonts so line breaks match, downloads uploaded and other fonts on demand, and supports Arabic script and right-to-left text.Player and display support
    How it is used
    Designers pick or upload fonts in the designer; the screen loads them automatically.
    The problem
    Text that wraps differently on screen breaks carefully designed layouts.
    The outcome
    Screens match the approved design in Latin and Arabic scripts.
    For example
    A bilingual Arabic and English welcome screen renders with the brand fonts.
  • Network dashboardStart page with registered-screen, weekly upload, active playlist and active schedule counts, online/offline totals, an activity panel, storage used and recent media, with shortcuts to manage, upload and create.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    User lands on the Dashboard and uses the shortcuts and Activity tabs.
    The problem
    Network status is spread across many screens and pages.
    The outcome
    A summary of the estate on one page.
    For example
    Operations lead starts the day with the estate summary.
  • Play records per media itemReports for each media item the screens it appeared on, its play count, its play duration and when it was last shown.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    User opens Reports > Media or the item stats.
    The problem
    Teams cannot confirm whether scheduled content actually played.
    The outcome
    A per-item playback record to check delivery.
    For example
    Confirm a sponsor's content played across the agreed screens.
  • In-app notificationsNotifications drawer with All and Unread tabs, Mark all as read, and entries showing event type, description, affected device, relative time and unread state.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    User opens Notifications, reviews entries and marks them read after investigation.
    The problem
    Problems are noticed only when someone sees a blank screen.
    The outcome
    Operators are alerted in the console.
    For example
    Facilities team sees an offline alert for one site.
  • Invite usersInvites team members with business identity and role assignment from Users Manager.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    Admin selects Invite User, completes identity and role, and sends.
    The problem
    Shared logins remove accountability for screen changes.
    The outcome
    Each team member has an individual account.
    For example
    Invite regional marketing managers.
  • Admin-created users with passwordAdmin creates a user directly with a Temporary Password (change required at first sign-in) or a Permanent Password.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    Admin selects Create User, enters details and chooses the password mode.
    The problem
    Some staff cannot receive invitation emails.
    The outcome
    Accounts can be created by IT with a forced password change.
    For example
    IT creates accounts for reception staff with temporary passwords.
  • Predefined rolesSeparate roles for administering, managing, creating, publishing and viewing, so the people who create content are not necessarily the people who publish it.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    Admin assigns a role to each user.
    The problem
    Unreviewed content reaches public screens when everyone can publish.
    The outcome
    Content creators and publishers are separated.
    For example
    Branch staff create content; only head office publishes.
  • Custom roles with granular permissionsRoles Manager lists roles with description and assigned users; Create role defines a named permission set.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    Admin selects Create role, names and describes it, selects permissions and assigns users.
    The problem
    Fixed roles rarely match an organisation's approval process.
    The outcome
    Permissions follow the organisation's own approval steps.
    For example
    A role that can upload media and build playlists but cannot publish.
  • Email and password sign-in with password resetSigns users in with an assigned email address and password, with Remember me and a Forgot password reset flow.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    User enters email and password, optionally selects Remember me on a managed device, and uses Forgot password? when needed.
    The problem
    Shared or unmanaged logins weaken accountability.
    The outcome
    Named users sign in with their own credentials.
    For example
    A regional manager resets a forgotten password without contacting IT.
  • Console navigation by moduleGroups the console into Dashboard, Screens, Schedules, Playlists, Media, Widgets, Designer, Designer (Partner), Reports and Settings.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    User moves between modules from the main navigation.
    The problem
    Operators need to find each task quickly.
    The outcome
    One navigation covers the full screen workflow.
    For example
    A content manager moves from Media to Playlists to Screens in one session.
  • Device event notificationsRecords device events in the notifications list, including device-location changes, player restarts, debug or developer mode changes and player crashes.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    User reviews entries in the Notifications drawer before changing content during an incident.
    The problem
    Device problems are often noticed only when someone sees a blank screen.
    The outcome
    Operators see device events in the console.
    For example
    IT sees that a lobby player restarted overnight.
  • Dashboard counts and shortcutsShows registered screens, weekly new uploads, active playlists and active schedules, each with a shortcut to Manage, Upload or Create.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    User reads the counts and selects a shortcut.
    The problem
    Starting common tasks takes several clicks across modules.
    The outcome
    Daily tasks start from one page.
    For example
    A content manager starts a new playlist from the Dashboard.
  • Dashboard activity panel and screen statusShows online and offline screen totals and an activity panel with Screens, Schedules and Playlists tabs; screen cards show current content and Live/Offline state.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    User switches activity tabs and adds tags from the screen cards.
    The problem
    Offline screens are found late.
    The outcome
    Offline screens are visible at the start of the day.
    For example
    Operations lead checks offline screens each morning.
  • Storage used indicatorShows current storage consumption as a progress indicator on the Dashboard.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    User reads the indicator.
    The problem
    Libraries fill up unnoticed.
    The outcome
    Storage use is visible before it blocks uploads.
    For example
    Admin reviews storage before a large video campaign.
  • Recent media on the DashboardLists the latest uploaded assets with their file types.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    User reviews recent uploads from the Dashboard.
    The problem
    New uploads go unreviewed.
    The outcome
    New content is visible for review.
    For example
    Reviewer checks the day's uploads.
  • Reports overview cardsInsights Overview with summary cards for Screens Online, Playback Hours, Average Downtime, Schedules, Playlists and Media Uploads.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used

    Teams cannot tell how widely a playlist ran.
    The outcome
    Reach and play count per playlist.
    For example
    Report how many screens ran a sponsor loop.
  • Media insight tabAsset name, file type, screen count and play count.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    User opens the Media tab.
    The problem
    Delivery of individual assets is unconfirmed.
    The outcome
    Play count and screen count per asset.
    For example
    Confirm a supplier-funded asset ran on its screens.
  • Report date ranges and tag filtersFilters reports by Today, This Week, This Month or This Year, and by tags; date controls appear at global, chart, card or list level.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    User selects a range and tags.
    The problem
    Reports need to match campaign periods and segments.
    The outcome
    Reports scoped to a period and tag.
    For example
    Report one tagged campaign for this month.
  • Report empty and error statesDistinguishes No data available (no playback in the period) from Failed to load chart data (a chart-load failure).Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    User reads the state and rechecks range and filters.
    The problem
    Empty reports are misread as failures.
    The outcome
    Clear interpretation of empty reports.
    For example
    Support explains an empty schedule report.
  • My Account profileProfile with first and last name, login email and job title; changing the login email goes through support.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    User edits profile fields in My Account.
    The problem
    Audit and support records need accurate identity.
    The outcome
    Accurate user records.
    For example
    A new manager updates their job title.
  • Password change and reset linkChanges a password with current, new and confirmation fields, or sends a password reset link.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    User opens My Account > Security.
    The problem
    Users need to rotate passwords themselves.
    The outcome
    Self-service password changes.
    For example
    A user rotates their password after a device loss.
  • Organisation detailsOrganisation name, industry, country and optional phone number with calling code.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    Admin edits My Account > Organization.
    The problem
    Account identity must be correct for support.
    The outcome
    Correct organisation records.
    For example
    Admin updates the organisation phone number.
  • Users ManagerLists users with username, role, job title and last sign-in, with Invite User and Create User.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    Admin reviews users and their last sign-in.
    The problem
    Dormant accounts go unnoticed.
    The outcome
    Access reviewed against last sign-in.
    For example
    Quarterly access review.
  • Roles Manager overviewLists roles with name, description and assigned users.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    Admin opens Roles Manager.
    The problem
    Role sprawl hides excess privilege.
    The outcome
    Every role and its users visible.
    For example
    Review who holds administrator roles.
  • Cloud and on-premises deploymentOffered as a cloud deployment or installed on premises, according to the customer’s requirements.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    The deployment model is agreed with Nexus Cloud during the evaluation, before rollout.
    The problem
    Some organisations must keep systems and data on their own infrastructure; others prefer a managed cloud service.
    The outcome
    The same product can be adopted under either operating model.
    For example
    A regulated organisation that requires on-premises installation.
  • Screen connectivity alertsRaises an alert when a screen has been offline for a short period, another when it comes back online after an outage, and a separate alert when a screen disconnects and reconnects repeatedly within a short period.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    Operations staff read the alerts in the notifications inbox and open the affected screen.
    The problem
    Dark or unstable screens go unnoticed until someone on site reports them.
    The outcome
    Teams learn about outages and unstable connections without waiting for a report from site.
    For example
    A retail operations team is alerted when a store's entrance screen drops offline and again when it recovers.
  • Role-targeted alerts for storage, publishing and video processingNotifies users when storage is nearly full, when publishing fails and when video processing completes or fails; each alert type goes to the roles with permission for that area.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    Users open the bell icon to read the alerts relevant to their role and mark them as read.
    The problem
    Important account and content problems are buried or reach the wrong people.
    The outcome
    The right people are told about issues that affect playback without having to check manually.
    For example
    An administrator is notified that storage is nearly full and deletes unused campaign videos before uploads fail.
  • Proof-of-play report exportDownloads a proof-of-play report as a spreadsheet file from the Reports area.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    A manager opens Reports, selects a period and presses Export report.
    The problem
    Advertisers and stakeholders ask for evidence of what played, and screenshots of dashboards are not enough.
    The outcome
    A shareable record of playback that supports proof-of-play conversations.
    For example
    A venue sends a monthly playback report to a sponsor whose content ran on its screens.
  • Console in five languages including Arabic right-to-leftThe console is available in English, Arabic (right to left), French, German and Spanish; the schedule timeline and map views also support right-to-left layouts.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    Each user chooses a preferred language in Settings.
    The problem
    Multinational and Arabic-speaking teams struggle with an English-only console.
    The outcome
    Local teams operate the console in a language they choose from those offered.
    For example
    A retail group's head office works in English while store teams use the console in Arabic.
  • Menus limited to permitted areasEach user sees only the console areas and dashboard cards their role allows; areas without a view permission are hidden.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    An administrator assigns a role; the user signs in and sees only the permitted modules.
    The problem
    Staff are confused or exposed by areas they should not use.
    The outcome
    A simpler console for each role and clearer separation of duties.
    For example
    A store user sees screens and playlists but not users, billing or reports.
  • Proof of play recorded on the screenThe player records each item it actually shows, including playlist items, schedule items, widgets, web pages and each element of a design, with start, end and duration, and sends the records to the console for the reports; video is counted only from when it really starts playing.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    No action on the screen; staff read the results in Insights.
    The problem
    Advertisers and venue owners need evidence that content really played and for how long.
    The outcome
    Play evidence per item from the device itself.
    For example
    A shopping centre shows a tenant how long its advert played across the week.
  • Device health eventsScreens report device problems to the console, including black screen, low memory, low storage, device clock out of step, unsupported or corrupted media, failed downloads, codec fallback, app restarts and crashes.Monitoring and administration
    How it is used
    Administrators and support review device events for each screen in the console.
    The problem
    Problems such as a full disk or wrong clock are found only when the customer complains.
    The outcome
    Problems are visible to support before someone on site reports them.
    For example
    Support sees a low-storage event and clears content before a campaign launch.

Questions

Before you book a demo

Can Nexus Signage manage screens across many locations?

Yes. Nexus Signage is built to schedule and publish content to screen groups across multiple locations. Your location count, screen types and network setup are reviewed during the demo.

Which screens and media players are supported?

Nexus Signage runs on Android, Windows, Samsung Tizen and LG webOS players, and in a web browser. Specific models and displays are confirmed for your estate during the consultation, before any rollout commitment.

Do we need the other Nexus products?

No. Nexus Signage works on its own. Nexus Queue and Nexus Surveys can be added later, in the same console and sign-in.

Can Nexus Signage run on premises?

Yes. Nexus Signage is offered as a cloud deployment or installed on premises, according to your requirements. Security, hosting and data-protection requirements are reviewed with your IT, risk and compliance teams as part of the evaluation.

Does content keep playing if a screen loses its connection?

Yes. If a screen loses its internet connection, it keeps playing the content it last received.

Can marketing build screen content without a separate design tool?

Yes. Teams start from a template in the gallery or compose a design on a layered canvas in the console, with text, photos, videos, links, RSS, PDFs, playlists and widgets.

Does Nexus Signage support portrait and non-standard screen sizes?

Yes. Designs are built for the shape of the screen: 16:9, 16:10, 4:3, 21:9, 9:16 portrait or a custom size.

Can screens show live web pages or dashboards?

Yes. A web address can be added as screen content, so a live web page or dashboard is displayed. Sites that block embedding cannot be shown.

Can digital menu boards run right to left for Arabic?

Yes. Menus can be shown right to left with Arabic fonts.

Can we separate who creates content from who publishes it?

Yes. Predefined roles separate administering, managing, creating, publishing and viewing. Custom roles let you define named permission sets and assign users to them.

How are overlapping schedules handled?

Nexus Signage flags overlapping schedule items and lists the conflicts. A timeline view shows gaps and overlaps hour by hour.
