Create layouts

A layout divides a single screen into one or more regions called zones. Each zone can display its own playlist or creative, so one screen can show several things at once — a video zone beside a menu board, or a header, body, and footer running together.

Create a layout​

  1. Go to Layouts and click New Layout.
  2. Set the resolution to match your screen (for example, 1920×1080 landscape or 1080×1920 portrait).
  3. Add zones by drawing regions on the canvas.
  4. Save the layout.

Assign content to zones​

For each zone, assign content from the zone's content manager:

  1. Open the layout and select a zone.
  2. Add a playlist, a creative, or media from your library.
  3. Drag to reorder content within the zone.
  4. Save.

Per-zone scheduling​

Each zone's content can be scheduled independently. For example, the body zone could show a breakfast playlist in the morning and a dinner playlist in the evening, while the header zone runs the same branding all day.

Assign a layout to a screen​

  1. Open the screen you want to configure.
  2. Choose the layout.
  3. Publish the change.

The screen downloads the layout and the content for each zone on its next check-in.
