BETA

We're excited to share an upcoming update to PLAYipp that will make your daily work significantly easier. We've listened to your feedback and are now working to improve both the navigation and user interface of the platform. WHAT'S CHANGING? A NEW AND MODERNIZED MENU ITEM: SCREENS Previously, screen management features were spread across several separate menu items under the Signage section: * Publish – for publishing content to screens * Screen structure – for managing screen structure * Screen list – for viewing and managing screen lists We're now introducing a new menu item called Screens with a completely upgraded and modern interface. NEW STRUCTURE WITH TWO MENU ITEMS Going forward, you'll have two menu items under Signage: * Screens – the new, refreshed interface with improved functionality for managing your individual screens * Screen groups – for managing screen groups. The functions from Screen groups will later be integrated into the new Screens interface We've separated these functions to provide a clearer structure and better overview during the development process. Screens focuses on managing individual screens with powerful tools for search, filtering, and display, while Screen groups temporarily retains the functionality for group management until it's fully integrated into Screens. THE NEW SCREENS INTERFACE The new Screens view comes with a completely upgraded interface that provides: Enhanced overview – A clearer and more readable table layout with all important information about your screens consolidated in one place. In list view, you can instantly see important columns such as Name, Address, Status, Layout, Screen ID, and have quick access to shortcuts for each screen. Flexible viewing options – Easily switch between Tree view (tree structure) and List view depending on what suits your work best. Tree view displays your screens organized hierarchically under sections and locations, while list view provides a complete table overview with all details visible simultaneously. Detailed screen view – When you click on a screen, you get a dedicated detail page where you can see the screen dump, layout preview, and all important information such as address, section, subscription, validity period, and Screen ID in a clear manner. New functions directly in the list – With quick-access icons on each row, you can quickly access settings or go directly to the playlist for the screen's largest area without navigating away from the overview. More powerful filtering and search – Quickly find the right screens with improved search and filter functions. Search by name, address, ID, or other parameters directly in the search field. Export and customization – Export your screen lists and customize columns according to your needs with the new Export and Customize buttons available in list view. WHAT THE NEW INTERFACE LOOKS LIKE To give you a better understanding of what's coming, we've compiled some screenshots of the new interface: In tree view, you can see how your screens are organized hierarchically under sections such as Gävle and Sandviken. Under each section, individual screens are listed, such as Reception under the Gävle section. This view gives you a clear overview of your screen structure. List view displays the same information in a powerful table format. Here you see all screens with columns for Name, Address, Status (Online/Offline), Layout, and Screen ID. In the top right corner, you'll find the Export and Customize buttons to tailor the view to your needs. Each row also has three quick-access icons: one to view screen dumps, one for settings, and one to quickly access the playlist for the screen's largest area. When you click on a screen, a dedicated detail page opens. Here you see a screen dump from the screen, a visual preview of the layout with all areas, and detailed information about Address, Section, Subscription, Valid to, and Screen ID. In the top right corner, you'll find quick buttons for Overview, Playlist, Settings, and Diagnostics. BENEFITS OF THE NEW STRUCTURE Better overview – The new Screens interface provides a complete and clear overview of your individual screens, their structure, and status. Clearer separation – With two separate menu items, it becomes easier to understand the difference between managing individual screens and screen groups. Faster workflow – With the modernized interface and quick access to functions, your daily work becomes more efficient. More intuitive experience – The new design language and structure make it easier to find the right feature directly, especially for new users. Professional feel – The updated design language provides a more modern and professional experience throughout the platform. Specialized tools – Each menu item can now offer tools and features optimized for its specific use case. CHANGES IN FUNCTIONALITY In connection with the new structure, we've made certain changes that are important to be aware of: One layout per screen – Previously, you could connect multiple layouts to a screen location. In the new interface, each screen can currently only have one layout connected to it. We're working on a future update where you'll be able to connect multiple layouts to the same screen and schedule when these should switch automatically. This will provide even more flexibility in your content management. Removed installation image – The function for uploading an installation image showing how the screen is mounted, which was previously available in Screen structure, has been removed in the new interface. DO YOU NEED TO DO ANYTHING? No, the update will be activated automatically once beta testing is complete. You don't need to make any changes or installations on your end. All the functionality you're familiar with will remain - management of individual screens moves to the new, improved Screens menu, while group management continues under Screen groups. QUESTIONS? If you have questions about the upcoming update or want to know more about what's happening during beta testing, please feel free to contact our support team. GIVE US FEEDBACK We'd love to hear your thoughts about the new update! Do you have suggestions for improvements or opinions about the new interface? Submit your feedback via the feedback button located in the top right corner of PLAYipp - it looks like a thumbs up. Your feedback helps us continue developing the platform in the right direction. We look forward to offering you an even better experience in PLAYipp!

In PLAYipp, you can manage central settings for how and when your screens should be active. These global settings make it easier to control operating times and recurring restarts in a uniform way for multiple screens. WHERE CAN I FIND THE SETTINGS? 1. Click on Signage in the main menu 2. Click on Screen menu 3. Click on Global screens settings Here you will find settings that apply globally to your screens: * Restart Schedule * Restart span * Energy Saving Mode (When the screen should be on) SETTINGS IN DETAIL Restart Schedule With the restart schedule, you can specify particular days and times when the screens should automatically restart. This can be useful to ensure stable operation and avoid screens freezing or losing connection. Example: Monday–Friday at 05:00 – the screens restart before the workday begins. Restart span The restart span is used to stagger the restarts of multiple screens over time, so they do not all restart at exactly the same time. You specify a number of minutes, which determines how long after the scheduled restart time each screen randomly restarts. Example: If the time is set to 30 minutes, and the scheduled restart is at 05:00, the screens will restart sometime between 05:00 and 05:30. This reduces the load on networks and servers in larger installations. Energy Saving Mode Here you specify during which times the screens should be turned on. Outside of these times, they will go into sleep mode. Example: The screens should be active between 07:00–17:00 on weekdays, and turned off on weekends. IMPORTANT TO KNOW * The global settings apply to all screens that do not have their own local settings. * If a screen has its own settings, the global ones will be overridden. * Changes take effect immediately but may require the screen to be online to take effect.

When you delete files in PLAYipp, they're moved to the trash where they continue to occupy storage space. To permanently remove these files and free up space, you need to empty the trash. This guide shows you how to empty the trash and reclaim storage space in your account. Empty the trash by following these steps: 1. Click “Signage” 2. Navigate to any screen – it doesn't matter which one you choose. 3. Click on the playlist icon on the right 4. Click on the media library icon  5. Click on the trash bin icon 6. Click on "remove all files in trash" Done! The trash is now empty and storage space has been freed up.

Table of Contents * What are sections? * How do sections work? * How to create sections * Moving screens between sections * Difference between sections and groups * When should you use sections? What are sections? Sections function as folders for your screens and help you organize them in a structured way. With sections, you can create a clear tree structure that makes it easy to find and manage your screens. How do sections work? Sections are an organizational tool that allows you to divide your screens into different folders. This is especially useful if you have many screens and want to keep them organized based on location, department, or other logical divisions. For example, you can create the following structure: * Head Office  * Reception * Conference Room * Staff Cafeteria * Stockholm Store * Window Display * Checkout * Gothenburg Store * Window Display * Checkout How to create sections Creating sections is straightforward: 1. Navigate to Signage in the menu 2. Click on Edit tree 3. Click on Add section 4. Give your section a name 5. Click save Creating subsections If you want to create a section within an existing section (a subsection), simply click on the Add section button on the parent section. This allows you to build a hierarchical structure with multiple levels. For example, if you have a section called "Head Office" and want to add subsections for different floors or departments, click on "Add section" directly on the "Head Office" section. Moving screens between sections To move a screen to another section, click on Edit on your screen. There you can choose which section the screen should belong to. This makes it easy to reorganize your screens as your needs change or if a screen is relocated. Difference between sections and groups Although sections and groups may seem similar at first glance, there is an important difference: Sections are used only to organize and structure your screens. They function like folders in a file manager. Groups are used to publish content to multiple screens simultaneously. You can select a group as the recipient when publishing a presentation. Important to know: You cannot publish content directly to a section. If you want to publish to multiple screens within a section, you need to use a group instead. When should you use sections? Use sections when you want to: * Create a clear structure for your screens * Divide screens based on location or function * Make it easier to find specific screens * Keep order in large screen installations

Table of Contents * What is the screen list? * Overview of the screen list * Search and filter screens * Screen information columns * Screen actions and shortcuts * View modes: Tree vs List * Export and customize What is the screen list? The screen list is your central hub for managing all your screens in PLAYipp. It provides a comprehensive overview where you can see all your screens at a glance, check their status, and perform various management tasks quickly and efficiently. Overview of the screen list The screen list displays all your screens in a table format with important information about each screen. From this view, you can: * See which screens are online or offline * View screen addresses and locations * Check which layout is currently assigned to each screen * Access quick actions for managing individual screens * Search and filter to find specific screens Search and filter screens At the top of the screen list, you'll find powerful tools to help you locate specific screens: * Search field: Use the search bar to search by name, address, ID, or other screen attributes. Simply type your search term and the list will filter automatically. * Filter button: Click the Filter button to access advanced filtering options. This allows you to narrow down your screen list based on specific criteria. Screen information columns The screen list displays the following information for each screen: * Name: The name of your screen. Screens can be identified by custom names like "Entrance," "Office," or "Conference Room." * Address: The physical address where the screen is located. This helps you identify the screen's location. * Status: Shows whether the screen is currently online (green) or offline (red). This gives you an immediate overview of which screens are active and which may need attention. * Layout: Displays which layout is currently assigned to the screen.  * Shortcuts: Quick action buttons that allow you to perform common tasks directly from the list view. Screen actions and shortcuts Each screen row includes shortcut icons that provide quick access to common actions: * Settings: Access screen settings and configuration * Publish: Takes you directly to the publish section where you can publish content to the screen These shortcuts save time by allowing you to manage screens without navigating away from the list view. View modes: Tree vs List You can toggle between two different view modes: * Tree view: Displays your screens organized in the section structure you've created. This is useful when you want to see screens grouped by sections and subsections. * List view: Shows all screens in a flat table format, regardless of their section organization. This is useful when you want to see all screens at once or perform bulk actions. Switch between these views using the Tree and List buttons in the top right corner. Export and customize Export: Click the Export button to export your screen list. This is useful for reporting, documentation, or sharing screen information with others. Customize: Use the Customize button to adjust which columns are displayed in the screen list. This allows you to tailor the view to show the information most relevant to your needs.

Screen groups are a way to publish content to multiple screens simultaneously. Instead of selecting each screen individually, you can create groups and publish to all screens in the group at once. This makes it easier to manage and organize your screens, especially when you have many screens in different locations. WHAT ARE SCREEN GROUPS USED FOR? Screen groups help you streamline your workflow by allowing you to: * Publish to multiple screens at once - Select a screen group instead of individual screens when publishing content * Organize by location - Group screens by physical location such as "Building A", "Reception areas", or "Conference rooms" * Organize by function - Create groups based on purpose like "Menu boards", "Wayfinding screens", or "Information displays" * Create hierarchies - Use parent and subgroups to build a structure that matches your organization, for example "Head Office > Floor 2 > Meeting rooms" * Simplify content management - Update content for an entire group instead of updating each screen separately HOW TO PUBLISH TO A SCREEN GROUP To publish content to a screen group: 1. Navigate to Signage 2. Click on screen group Screen Groups 3. Select the group you want to publish to 4. Choose the area you want to publish to 5. Publish as usual The content will now be published to all screens in the selected group. HOW TO CREATE A SCREEN GROUP 1. Click on Signage 2. Click on Screen groups 3. Click the plus button (+) 4. Fill in the following fields in the dialog that opens: Name Give the group a descriptive name that makes it easy to identify which screens are included. Examples: "Entrance Screens", "Conference Rooms Floor 2", or "Lunch Area". Parent group If you want to create a subgroup under an existing group, you can select the parent group here. This is optional and can be left empty if you're creating a main group. Locations Select which locations should be included in the group by activating the respective toggle button. You can select one or multiple locations: * Active toggle (green) = the location is included in the group * Inactive toggle (gray) = the location is not included in the group Create the group When you've filled in all the information, click the green Create button. If you want to cancel, click Cancel. Your new screen group will now appear in the list of screen groups and can be used to organize your content.

There are several situations where you may need to replace an existing screen with a new device. The most common reasons include: * Technical failure or damage – The original screen has stopped working or is physically damaged * Hardware upgrade – You want to modernize to a newer model with better performance or features * Relocation – The screen is being moved to another location, and you need to replace it at the current site * Technology change – You want to switch from one type of screen to another (for example, from Web-based to PLAYport) Regardless of the reason for the replacement, it's important that you follow the correct steps to ensure that the new screen smoothly takes over the old screen's configuration and content. By following the process below, you can avoid losing settings or having to configure everything from scratch. How to replace a screen: 1. Navigate to Signage in the main menu 2. Click on List to view all your screens 3. Locate the screen you want to replace in the list and click on the settings icon (⚙️) next to it 4. Click on More actions 5. Select Replace screen 6. Enter the activation code that is displayed on the new screen's screen 7. Click Replace Note: The activation code shown in the screenshot above is only an example. Use the actual code displayed on your new screen. The replacement is now complete. The new screen will automatically inherit all settings, content, and configurations from the original screen. Content will begin downloading shortly, and the screen will start displaying according to its schedule. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? * The new screen receives all configuration settings from the replaced screen * Scheduled content and playlists are automatically transferred * The old screen is deactivated and removed from your active screens * Content download may take a few minutes depending on your connection speed and content size

Power BI is a business analytics service provided by Microsoft enabling users to visualize and analyze data from various sources. This article contains everything you need to know when integrating Power BI with PLAYipp. Table of contents: * What is Power BI? * Technical specifications needed for setup * Lesser known features of PowerBI * How to setup the PowerBI integration * How to publish the PowerBI widget What is PowerBI? Power BI is a business analytics service provided by Microsoft. It allows users to visualize and analyze data from various sources, including databases, Excel files, web services, and cloud services. With Power BI, users can create interactive reports and dashboards to gain insights into their data and make data-driven decisions. Key features:  1. Data Connectivity: Connects to diverse data sources. 2. Data Preparation: Cleans and shapes data efficiently. 3. Data Modeling: Builds relationships and calculates measures. 4. Visualization: Creates interactive reports with various visualizations. 5. Sharing and Collaboration: Securely shares reports and collaborates in real-time. There are two destinct features of PowerBI that you are able to display in Playipp. Dashboards A Power BI dashboard is a single-page canvas that provides a high-level, at-a-glance overview of key metrics and performance indicators (KPIs). Think of it as a personalized executive summary. * Single Page: Dashboards are limited to one page. This forces a concise and focused view of the most critical information. * High-Level Overview: They are designed for quick monitoring of key performance indicators (KPIs) and provide a snapshot of business performance. * Aggregates from Multiple Reports/Datasets: A dashboard can pull visuals (called "tiles") from various reports and even different datasets, bringing together information from disparate sources into a single view. * Real-time Updates: Dashboards can display real-time data with live tiles, making them ideal for monitoring constantly changing metrics. * Dashboards are static in Playipp based on how the user built them in Power BI and will not adapt to the size of the display area.   Reports A Power BI report is a multi-page, interactive canvas that offers in-depth analysis and exploration of data. * Multi-Page Layout: Reports can have multiple pages, each focusing on different aspects of the data or providing different perspectives. * Detailed Analysis: They are designed for detailed data exploration, allowing users to dive deep into the data, identify trends, and answer complex business questions. * Based on a Single Data Model: Each report is built upon a single data model (also known as a semantic model), which can combine data from various sources but is unified within that single model. * Purpose: Ideal for data analysts, business users who need to conduct detailed analysis, or anyone who requires a comprehensive understanding of specific datasets * Reports are responsive in Playipp and will adapt to the size of the display area.   Technical specifications needed for setup License requirement: * Active Microsoft Power BI Pro or higher license * Access to the dashboards/reports intended for display Scopes: We use a Oauth 2.0 authorization code flow to access PowerBI with below scopes * User.Read * Dashboard.Read.All * Dataset.Read.All * Report.Read.All * Workspace.Read.All Which means that when your user is authenticating in the setup of the PowerBI integration it will authenticate with the authication servers in PowerBI. Data Flow: * You authenticate your Power BI account in PLAYipp. * PLAYipp accesses the specified dashboard or report. * For embedded (live) views, the player launches a web session to show the live report. * For static image snapshots, PLAYipp pulls an image of the selected view at regular intervals and displays it on screen. Lesser known features of PowerBI Power BI is designed to connect to a vast array of data sources, allowing you to create interactive dashboards and reports from virtually any data.

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.

The link or clip will soon be displayed on the screen Troubleshooting common issues with URL:S WHY CAN'T I PREVIEW CERTAIN LINKS? When you add certain links in PLAYipp, the preview may not work, or you might see a blank field. This is a security feature that some websites use and is not a fault in PLAYipp. Why does this happen? The preview in PLAYipp is based on an iframe – a technology that allows content from another website to be displayed within PLAYipp. However, many websites have a security setting that blocks their content from being displayed in iframes. This is a common security measure that websites use to protect their content and their users. The Solution The important thing to know is that even if the preview does not work, the link can still function perfectly on the screen! Why can't I edit the URL after publishing? You are not able to edit a published web link in the playlist and need to publish it again if you want to make an edit. We are looking for a solution to this in a future product release.   My URL does not show up on screen, what can I do? If the website does not show you could try the following steps.  * Disable mobile page * Disable cache * Increase playtime 1. Go to Signage,  location, area and the playlist.  2. Press context button. 3. Disable mobile page or inactive cache. 4. Press the time Length.  If the URL still does not show on the screen it could be an issue were the Signage screen(or player) browser is not compatible with the website you are trying to display.

With this smart integration, you can easily display a web page on your information screen. The integration takes a screenshot of the page you want to display and then updates that screenshot at regular intervals. This article contains everything you need to know about Website screenshot. Table of contents: * What is website screenshot? * Add integration * Selector * Requires login * Script * Add widget What is website screenshot? The Website Screenshots feature allows you to automatically display current screenshots from selected web pages directly on your information screens. The system retrieves and updates the images at regular intervals, making it easy to display, for example, news pages, intranet portals, dashboards or other important web-based information - without manual management. In the free version, the screenshots are updated once an hour, which is suitable for content that does not change too often. For more dynamic needs, there is a premium version where the update interval is every 5 minutes, which provides an almost real-time rendering of the website. Do you want to upgrade to premium or have questions about the feature? Do not hesitate to contact us – we will be happy to help you find the solution that best suits your needs. With the Website Screenshots feature, you can configure various automated steps to be performed before the actual screenshot is taken. This means that the system can log in to a website, click buttons, fill out forms or navigate to a specific view – just as a user would do. This makes it possible to display content that normally requires login or other form of interaction, such as internal dashboards, statistics tools or employee portals. The feature thus provides greater flexibility and expanded opportunities to integrate your most important digital tools and systems directly into your screenshot solution Do you want to watch a webinar about Website screenshot? Click here!  Please note: Only public web pages can be displayed It is important to note that the integration only works with web pages that are publicly accessible via the internet. If the web page you want to display is only accessible within your internal network – for example, behind a firewall, a VPN or on a local intranet – the screenshot will not be able to be generated or displayed on the screens. The same is true with 2-step authentication. It is not possible to use website screenshot with 2-step verification. Since the screenshots are retrieved via an external service, the web page needs to be accessible from outside. If you are unsure whether your web page meets this requirement, or if you would like to explore options for making certain content available for the integration in a secure way, please contact us – we will be happy to help you find the right solution. If you are going to display a web page as is, try publishing it as a normal web link first. You can read how to publish a web link here: Publish web links, Youtube & HLS stream  Add integration To add an integration, follow these steps: 1. Click "Integrations" 2. Click Website screenshot 3. Click "Add to PLAYipp" 4. Click "Activate connection" 5. You can now add a source. Start by entering the display name of the source. 6. Enter the URL you want to display 7. In order to get correct data, you may need to set the time zone, you can do that here. 8. Here you can choose which browser should be used to take the picture. The version can be adjusted in case the webpage does not support a particular browser. 9. If you need to change the resolution of the browser that takes the image, do so here. It can be good to do if you have to display the widget on a smaller area, and you want the web page to adapt to that size. Sometimes you also need to increase these values if you need to scroll on the web page to see what you want to display. 10. If you want the browser not to identify itself with a user agent, uncheck this. 11. Many pages have the same type of login flow, you can read more about how it works here: Requires login 12. If you tick this option, you can add scripts that run in the browser before the player takes a picture. You can read more about it a little further down in the guide 13. Click add source Selector Before you can start configuring automated login or other interactions via script, you first need to figure out which elements on the web page you will be interacting with – such as input fields, buttons, or menus. Each element on a web page has a specific name or identifier (such as name, id, or class), and these are what you need to be able to control your script correctly. 1. Open the browser in incognito mode (the most common keyboard shortcut is ctrl/cmd + shift + n) 2. Open the link you want to display in this new window. In the guide below we use https://content.playipp.com/test/login/ but all web pages are built differently so you will get different names. 3. Right-click the element whose name you want to find out. 4. Select inspect 5. A window will pop up with all the HTML code for the website. A row will be highlighted. When you hover your cursor over this row, you will see that the field you right-clicked on will be highlighted. Right-clickn this line. 6. Choose copy > Copy selector Now you have a piece of text in your clipboard. You can paste this field name/selector into various scripts to determine which element to interact with. NOTE: All pages are built differently, so the names are different for each page. Requires login With the login required button, you can easily create a script that enters a username, password and then clicks login. If you have to type username > click next > type password > click login or similar, you have to use the scripting option to do each step separately. When you've filled everything in, it might look something like this: NOTE: All pages are built differently, so the names of the selector are different for different pages.   Script With scripts, you can set up a number of steps to take place before a screenshot is taken on the page. It could be logging in, going to a subpage, approving cookies or the like. TIP: It's easiest to open an incognito window while you figure out what steps are being taken. If you use your usual profile in the browser, you may have accepted cookies, logged in or the like already. In the example below, a button called "#wt-cli-accept-btn" is clicked, then wait 5 seconds before the picture is taken. If you make a mistake or put the steps in the wrong order, you can change the order of the steps by pulling the handles (the 3 lines on the left side) and dragging them correctly. The options available are the following: * Click Simulates a click on a specific part of the website. For example, click the login button, a link on the page or the "Accept cookies" button on pop-ups that always appear. * Drop down menu Selects an option from a drop-down menu. For example drop-down menus to select months, years. The value field is the dropdown value you want it to select, to see how to find the name of the selector see the selector section * Write Writes text for a specific part of the website. For example. Enter username in a login form or enter text to search in a search field. Value is the text to be written, to see how to find the name of the selector see the selector section * Write (protected) Enters sensitive text into a specific part of the website. For example. Enter a password in a login form. Value is the text to be written, to see how to find the name of the selector see the selector section * Wait Wait for X number of seconds before the script moves on to the next step. For example, if in the previous step you have clicked on a button and now want to wait a few seconds for the website to load properly. * Enter/Return Simulates Enter key press on a specific part of the website. For example, if in previous steps you have entered something in a search field and now want to press Enter to search. To see how to find the name of the selector see the selector section * Go to URL Loads a new web link to continue the script on. For example, if in previous steps you have logged in to a service, now you want to go to a specific part of the service. The value is the web link to which the script should go. * Add CSS If you want to hide part of the web page or change the CSS, you can use add CSS. Value is the CSS code to be executed e.g. "color: #ffffff; background-color: # 000000;". To see how to find the name of the selector see selector section If no selector is selected, the CSS will go directly to the body element.
