Groups — manage many screens at once
Put screens in groups to change what they play, publish, mute or restart them together.
If you have more than a couple of screens, groups save a lot of clicking: "All menu boards", "Lobby screens", "Downtown store".
Make a group
- Go to Screens and choose New group (it appears once you have two or more screens; later, use the + beside the group buttons).
- Name it and pick the screens that belong to it. A screen can be in more than one group.
What you can do with a group
Choose the group at the top of the Screens page. Actions then apply to all of its screens:
- Change what they play: the playlist you choose becomes the main playlist on every screen in the group. Their schedules stay as they are. You'll publish next.
- Publish them together.
- Mute or unmute them.
- Restart their players.
Groups are also handy when sending an alert to only some screens, and in the API.
Deleting a group only removes the group; the screens and what they show stay exactly as they are.
