Tags in Digital Signage
Tags in Digital Signage enable you to create alternative scenarios involving some or all of your screens. Once a tag is created, you can activate the tag for a certain duration. For example, you could create a fire emergency playlist that would direct people to evacuate immediately. Create a new tag, set the playlist as the fire emergency playlist you created, and tag all screens.
What happens if the screen is offline when a tag is activated?
Once the screen comes online, it will play the tagged playlist for the remainder of the tag’s activation time. Remember to set your alerts to get notifications about screens going offline and online.
What happens if I activate several tags at the same time?
If a screen has several active tags, the most recently activated tag takes precedence.
Why do I need to assign a playlist to a tag beforehand?
In a situation where you’d want to quickly activate a tag, it is important that the player already has all the files of the tagged playlist downloaded. By tagging screens with a specific playlist, the screens can download the required files for the tagged playlist, so that when the tag is activated, the screen can start playing right away.
