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:
- Navigate to Signage in the menu
- Click on Edit tree
- Click on Add section
- Give your section a name
- 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
