Publish content
In PLAYipp, you can upload a variety of file types, widgets and web content.
This can be mixed in a playlist so that it scrolls between all content. If you
want the same content to be displayed statically in a area, you leave it alone
in the playlist, then it will be displayed until you add something more or
remove it.
If you want to read more about how the playlist works, you can do so here: The
playlist
In addition to uploading images, videos, files, etc., you can create content
directly in playipp. This is done with Quicknote templates and various
integrations. Quicknote templates allow you to create messages with text and
images to be displayed on your screen. Integrations retrieve information from
other systems and display them in ready-made widgets.
You can read more about how to create Quicknote templates here: Create a
QUICKnote template
You can read about integrations in these articles: Integrations and functions
You are able to upload a variety of different ones and mix them exactly as you
want. We have created a guide for each type of file so you can easily follow.
You can find them here:
Pictures: Publish pictures
Videos: Publish video
PDF, Powerpoint and office documents: Publish PDF, Powerpoint, Office-document
HTML files: Publish HTML-files
Web links, HLS and youtube: Web links, Youtube & HLS stream
Publish PDF, Powerpoint, Office-document
ATTENTION! Instead of using PowerPoint, we recommend using our Quicknote tool to
post images and text. Then you can easily edit the presentation afterwards and
ensure that you get the right font.
We recommend saving your PowerPoint as a PDF for the best experience before
uploading it to the playlist.
If the file contains animations, choose to export your PowerPoint as .mp4
(video) and then upload the video.
If you still choose to publish a PowerPoint, it needs to be adapted to get the
right resolution on the screen. This requires a formula as PowerPoint uses cm
instead of pixels. It is automatically calculated and displayed under Tips &
trix on the right side.

The construction of templates
A template is created by using fields. The fields that can be edited are marked
with a dashed frame. The example below contains a text field and an image field
that can be edited, while the title is locked and cannot be changed.
Whether a field is locked or editable depends on the template right setting in
the current field. These settings are specified when building the template. If
any setting options shown in the overview image above dosen´t appear, the
template must first be unlocked. Unlocking a template can only be performed by
those authorized to do so.
To edit a text field:
1. Double-click the text to mark it. Then you can edit the text
To edit an image field:
1. Click on the image field. The "Change Image" button, located at top
center, will now be visible. If the image field already contains an image,
any cropping may now appear outside the image field frame.
2. Click Change Image. The file library opens up.
3. Select an already uploaded image from any of your folders or upload a new
image.
Crop an image in a image field
1. Crop an image in an image field. Make sure both croup mode and cropping mode
are enabled (the icons will turn blue).
2. Grab one of the image's corner points and enlarge the image by dragging the
corner point outward.
3. All parts of the picture that is outside the image frame will turn grey.
4. When you're satisfied with the image size you can also drag and drop the
image to change its location in the image field.
5. Disable crop mode to give the image its new crop and location in the image
field.
6. Once you have filled in information in the fields you want to use
click publish in the upper right corner and proceed to the scheduling. Read
more about scheduling here.
Note!
* When cropping an image by dragging its headers zooms in the image. If the
image has a lower resolution than the template's image field the image can be
perceived as pixelated as it appears on a screen.
* If you pull in an edge point instead of a corner point the picture will be
scaled off disproportionately.

Guide for Media Library
These are the basic functions for using the media library in PLAYipp. By
creating a clear folder structure, you can easily organize and manage all the
material uploaded to the system.
In PLAYipp, folders and content may be accessible based on the rights assigned
to your user profile. This means that different users see different folders and
resources depending on their role and permission level. For example, if you have
administrator rights, you can see and manage all folders, while a user with
limited rights only has access to the folders and files that have been
specifically shared with them. Check your rights with an administrator if you
lack access to a specific folder.
To access the media library in PLAYipp, navigate to the "Signage" and "Publish"
menu. Click on the circle with four lines at the top right. When you click on
this circle, the media library expands, giving you an overview of your folders.
If you have a new account, you can only see a default folder named "Media".
If you have a more structured account, you can see more folders that you and
your team have created.
If you prefer to view the media library as a "tree" instead of in a folder view,
you can easily switch by clicking on the tree structure icon. This gives you a
more hierarchical overview of folders and subfolders.
EXPLORE AND MANAGE FOLDERS
To view the contents of a folder, click on it. To create new folders, use the
"add new folder" button. If you want to create a subfolder, you must first open
the folder and then click on "add new folder".
If you want to delete a folder, hover over the folder and click on the "..."
button, where you will find an option to delete the folder.
STRUCTURE YOUR MEDIA LIBRARY
The structure of the media library can vary depending on your needs. A good way
to organize the material is to follow your screen structure. Here is an example
of a recommended structure:
* Main folders for each country: E.g., Sweden and Norway.
* Subfolders for cities or offices: Under Norway, you can create a subfolder
for Oslo. Under Sweden, you can create subfolders for different offices in
cities like Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö.
Another good idea is to create shared folders for materials that are
company-wide, such as a folder with images that all users can access.
Upload and delete files
All content that you add to the playlist will be saved in the media library. If
you want to upload files without publishing them, you can do so directly to the
media library. To upload files, open a folder and drag the files to the top or
use the upload button to select the files you want to upload. If you want to
delete a file, hover over the file, click on the three dots ("..."), and select
the option to delete the file.
The playlist
The screen is divided into different areas through the layout, Each area that
you create in the layout has its own playlist connected to it. It is in these
playlists that you publish all content.
To enter the playlist, follow these steps:
1. Click here
2. Click "Publish"
3. Click on the location or area.
4. Click the area you for the playlist.
You are now in a playlist. The playlist is built so that it shows the first
active item, Shows it for the play length (mm:ss) it is set to and then shows
the next one, When it gets to the bottom of the playlist, it will start over at
the first item again. (Red arrows)
If you want to change the order of the items in the playlist, click and drag the
handles on the left side (Green arrow)
Sometimes you will come across objects with a padlock. This means that they
belong to a group and must be edited in that group, you can read about that
here: My objects are locked with a padlock, how do I unlock them?
At the right, there is a colored button. It can have 4 different colors.
Green means it is currently active and should be displayed on screen.
Orange means it is scheduled and will be displayed.
Red means it is scheduled and has been shown but is not scheduled to be shown in
the future.
You can read more about scheduling here: Scheduling
Gray means it is disabled. Then someone has entered via the "..." button. and
selected disable. If you want to activate it again, click on the “…” button and
click activate again. (see below)
Priority
If you want only one or a few items to be displayed during a specific period
instead of the already existing items in the playlist, you can use priorities
and scheduling together. An example could be to show a lunch menu between 10-13
or information about whether there will be a fire drill on Friday.
Priority works by showing only the active items with the highest priority level.
If the object is deleted or if the scheduling has ended, the priority level will
drop to the next level with active objects.
You can also set a higher priority level for objects. This can be good if you
always schedule items. If the scheduling extends to all standard objects, then
you can have an object as a reserve (Fallback) which is displayed if nothing
else is active.
By default, these three priority levels are available to choose from:
Standard: The default level that all new items receive.
Prio: A step higher than the standard level, if you set items as "Prio" then
only those items will be displayed.
Backup: One step lower than the standard level, displayed if no other item is
active in the playlist.
To change the priority, follow these steps:
1. Click here on the "..."-button
2. Click on "Edit priority"
3. Click here.
4. Choose the priority level you want to change to.
5. When you have changed priority level on an object there will appear a
divider that shows what items that are playing and those who has lower
priority and does not appear on the screen.
Power save mode
The power save mode allows you to set when you want your screen or screens to be
powered on. To put the screen in a power save mode, for example when the office
is closed, is good for the environment and prolongs the screens longevity.
Note! The power save mode is not supported on all screens. If you find that the
screen doesn't power off or power on properly, we recommend using the screens
own power save mode instead.
1. Click “Signage”
2. Click on the location or group you want to activate power save mode on.
3. Click on an area. It doesn't matter which area you click on.
4. Click here
5. Click “Power save mode”
6. Click here
You have 3 different types of schedules to choose from. When you set a
schedule, you choose when the screen should be on. The rest of the time it
goes into power saving mode. (if no schedules are set up the screen will be
on 24/7)
You can read how they work here: Scheduling
Scheduling
In order to be able to automate when your content should be displayed, schedules
are used. With these, you can then choose when the content should be displayed.
There are three different scheduling options. From & to date, Always show and
Advanced schedule. We will get to these a little further down.
Tip! You can add multiple schedules to the same object!
In the playlist, there is a button on each item that indicates its scheduling
status. The color of the scheduling button indicates whether the item is
currently showing, will be showing, is finished, or disabled.
Active
The item is active and is being displayed. The item will be displayed until it
is removed or disabled in the playlist.
Until...
The item is active and currently displayed, but has a schedule. The item will be
displayed until the specified date. The button will then turn orange if there is
another schedule in the future, or red if there is nothing to schedule.
From...
The item is not currently displayed but is scheduled to be displayed from the
specified date and time.
Finished
The item has been scheduled to finish and is no longer displayed on the screen.
Inactive
The item has been deactivated by a user. You can read more about that here: The
playlist
From & to date
The scheduling mode From & to date is used when you want an object to be shown
between two different times and/or dates. For example: Wed 25 Oct 2017 at
00:00 to Sun 29 Oct 2017 at 23:59
1. Choose the date and time when you want the object to appear on the screen.
The object will appear on the screen immediately if no date or time is
chosen in the schedule.
2. Choose the date and time when you want the object to stop appearing on the
screen. The object will appear on the screen until further notice if no date
or time is chosen in the schedule.
Always show
The object will appear on the screen until someone removes or inactivate it in
the playlist.
Advanced schedule
With an advanced schedule, you can create custom schedules. If you want an
object to appear only on Fridays or under lunch break on weekdays.
There are two different advanced schedules: Same hours each day and Different
