Manage Digital Signage Licenses

Add License

Before installing your digital signage device, you need to add a licence. Once in use, each licence is unique to the device it is linked to and it can only be used once.
  1. In your admin console, open Licenses from the desktop or select Devices > Licences in the menu
  2. In the Licences tab, click [NEW LOCATION]
  3. In the EDIT LOCATION section, enter a descriptive name* to identify the location of this licence and update the licence settings as required
  4. Click [SAVE LOCATION]
To configure the Vibe.fyi player app settings on your digital signage device, you'll need:
- Your site URL (e.g. https://<name>.vibe.fyi) and;
- The 8-digit auth code (LG WebOS or Philips AndroidOR the username/password (Windows or Linux)
Notes:
  1. *Your licence names and location structure are used by content creators to assign content. The licence names should be setup in a way that content creators understand where the content will show. To create a multi level structure, set your parent location to the Root Level in the Set Level field and assign all other levels accordingly.  Apply the relevant Theme, Timezone, Parent Lat/Long and Permissions to the parent location so all lower levels inherit these settings by default.
    e.g.:
    1. Head Office (parent - apply theme, timezone, lat/long and permissions at this level for all lower levels to inherit)
      1. Level 1
        1. Sales Screen (LG)
        2. Lunchroom (Windows)
      2. Reception

If no playlist or schedule is assigned to the location, a "There is no content assigned to this location" message will appear onscreen at the time of installationPlaylists can be assigned in the portal or you can work with your content team to setup the schedule in the admin console and return to the licence manager to update the Schedule/Playlist setting.

License Settings

Set Level

For setting a hierarchy this setting is to set the parent of a location so it can inherit the property of that location. If we keep it default, license will create as a parent.

Timezone

Timezone setting is to set a location to a specific time zone so that it will show slides accordingly to a location 
ie :- If there is a slide playing in New Zealand at 10 am it should not play at Australian location at the same time. Setting up a time zone will play the slide at Nz and Aus at 10 am.

Theme

Theme settings is used to set a predefined theme to specific locations. In themes we are able to set Background, Font for the slides and information bar. You can edit the theme after the location is being created.

Use Parent Lat/Long

Lat/Long toggle option is to set the exact location of the Screen is being displayed. This will help the templates that are using geolocation. Examples :- Weather, Gaspy.

Schedule/Playlist

You can either set the playlist or Schedule from the portal after creating the license or assign the PLAYLIST while creating.
If you assign a new playlist to the location it will take less than 15 minutes to show on your respective screens.
If there is no playlist in the synced location it will show a warning message "There is no content assigned to this location".

Permissions
