Themes

A theme is a saved set of content assigned to the players in a player group. Themes let you configure what plays across a group of displays and recall or schedule that configuration later. Themes are managed from the Display Dashboard.

Creating a Theme​

When you create a new theme from the dashboard, the flow works like creating a new player group: click the New button and a name input slides up. Enter a name and it is used for the new theme, rather than a default placeholder name.

Creating a new theme from + New in Planning Mode creates a separate new theme without clearing the theme currently loaded in the planning view.

Loading a Theme​

Load a saved theme to apply its configuration, including all of its associated assets. A theme loads the same way regardless of whether it was originally saved from Live Mode or Planning Mode, and its assets are displayed when loaded.

Scheduling a Theme​

You can schedule themes directly from the dashboard:

  1. Open the theme schedule modal on the dashboard.
  2. Create a theme playback event with a start time (and a stop time, if desired).
  3. At the scheduled time, the theme plays on the correct players in the player group.

The dashboard control bar shows a notification of the next scheduled theme event. See Scheduling → for more on the scheduler.
