Table of Contents
The tree structure gives you an overview of how your screens are organized. The screens are grouped into sections and locations, making it easy to navigate and manage larger sets of screens.
Overview
In the Screens view, you can switch between two modes: Tree and List. The tree view displays your screens organized in a hierarchical structure with sections and locations. Each section can be expanded or collapsed to show or hide its contents.
In the tree view, you will see:
- Sections – Overall groupings, e.g., a city or region.
- Locations – Specific locations within a section, e.g., "Cafeteria" or "Reception". Each location has an address associated with it.
- Screens – The individual screens that belong to a location. Here you can see the screen's name, which location it belongs to, connection status, and whether it is active or inactive.
You can expand or collapse all sections at once by clicking on Expand All or Collapse All at the top of the view.
If you prefer a flat overview without hierarchy, you can switch to the list view by clicking on List. Read more about the list view in our separate guide: Screen List
