Frames

Creating & Editing Frames

When a device is registered, a default frame is created and is set to fullscreen.

To create and edit Frames on a device, click on the “Devices” tab in the menu on the left-hand side of the screen.

From the “Devices” menu, select the device you wish to set up/edit the Frames of.

Once the device has been selected, click on “Frames” at the top to access the frames menu.

Within the “Frames” section is where you’re able to add frames. When registering a device there will be a frame named “Default” that will take up the entirety of the window. You can edit or delete this frame with the buttons on the right-hand side.

To create a new frame, hit the “New Frame” button. From here, you will be asked to enter a name for the frame, the size of the frame and its starting location. Both the size and location can be entered in either pixels or as a percentage of the window size.

You can also assign a “Background Colour” for the frame, along with a “Standby Image”. The “Background Colour” will be shown whenever a creative that is playing is smaller than the frame. A “Standby Image” is a predetermined image that will only show when no content is provided, meaning, no bookings or campaigns are scheduled to the frame.

You can also set the "Loop Policy" of this particular frame, the loop policy determines how many slots are available and long content will be shown per slot.

Finally, you can enable "Transitions" for this particular frame, a transition plays between content. Here you can set the length of the transition and the type of transition.  

It should be noted that the order of the frames is important. Frames higher on the list will show in front of frames that are lower on the list. This means you will need to ensure that you order frames in the correct manner for your requirements.

Assign Bookings To Frames

To ensure that content is being played, bookings must be individually assigned to the frame/s they wish to be displayed on.

To assign bookings to Frames, click on “Bookings” on the far left menu.

From here, select the booking you wish to assign to a frame/s, or create an entirely new booking.

Once you have set up your bookings creatives, and the time and days you wish for it to be shown, click on frames along the top.

Once in the frames menu, select “Assign Frames” and the following prompt will appear.

From here, you can see all the available frames. They are listed and shown with the “Device Name”, “Frame Name” and “Status”. You can find the frame you are wanting to use by searching for either the frame name or the device name. To select the frame, simply check the box on the left, and the frame will appear in the “Selected Frames” menu on the right.
