natural navigation

Youโ€™ll find the navigation menu in your Fusion Signage portal has been intuitively designed
to be used the same way youโ€™d enjoy an ice cream. From top to bottom. ๐Ÿฆ

dashboard

The first place youโ€™ll find yourself is the Dashboard. Think of the Dashboard like your mum's eyes when you were in high school. It sees everything. It knows everything.

Here you can view your total account storage and bandwidth, how many licences you have and how many are currently online. You can also view your latest file uploads and any latest news from your friendly Fusion Signage team.

๐Ÿ’™  Quick overview of your digital signage network

๐Ÿ’™  View latest file uploads

designer and marketplace

Meet your digital signage sidekicks - The Designer and Marketplace. They exist to make head-turning content accessible to everyone.

This is where you come to create. What you make here is what your screens will display to the world! Need inspiration? Our Marketplace is filled with professionally-designed templates just for you.

๐Ÿ’™  Professionally designed templates

๐Ÿ’™  Drag & drop style editor

๐Ÿ’™  Millions of high-res, free images and videos

๐Ÿ’™  Attention grabbing content at your fingertips

manage

The Manage section is your go-to place to add, view and organise all your media, playlists and schedules.

Media = images, videos, websites, designs or templates that you want to display on your screen.

Playlists = your chosen media files, or even other playlists

Schedules = choose what playlists you want, on this day, at that time. All organised ahead of time. All automated for when you need it.

๐Ÿ’™  Manage your media, playlists and schedules all in one place

๐Ÿ’™  Simply add media, create a playlist and schedule it

manage: media

The first thing you want to do in Manage is upload your Media. You can add images, videos, websites, templates, RSS feeds and live streams. Youโ€™ll also want to start creating a folder structure that makes sense to you. Remember your folders can contain media, playlists and schedules. Or you can separate them, itโ€™s up to you!
 

Empowered tip: We recommend organising your folders by theme, occasion or campaign for easy retrieval. For example: Christmas, Branding or Free Donut Campaign. ๐Ÿฉ

๐Ÿ’™  Add media assets - images, videos, websites, templates, RSS feeds and live Facebook or YouTube streams

๐Ÿ’™  Organise folder structure

manage: playlists

Now letโ€™s pop some media into a playlist. You have a lot of freedom to set up and manage your playlist as suits you. You even have granular customisation - setting a schedule for an individual piece of media within your playlist (how nice is that?). Once youโ€™re happy with your playlist, hit save and publish to watch it magically deploy to your assigned screen.

๐Ÿ’™  Organise media into playlists

๐Ÿ’™  Set image durations

๐Ÿ’™  Hide, duplicate and preview

๐Ÿ’™  Set media-level scheduling

manage: schedules

The ability to schedule your content ahead of time one of the wonders of digital signage. This feature is available to our Advanced and Pro account holders. From within the Manage section click +add and select schedule. Youโ€™ll be shown a calendar view to set up your preferences.

Empowered tip: Use default playlist to set a playlist that your screens will default to playing when nothing is scheduled.

๐Ÿ’™  Schedule content ahead of time

๐Ÿ’™  Daypart content

๐Ÿ’™  Set default playlist for when no schedule is running

deploy

Our Deploy section is where you decided which playlists are published on which screens. You can also view important information (such as their online / offline status), and set up email notifications if a screen goes offline.

From this tab, Advanced and Pro accounts also have the ability to group multiple screens together and update their content all at once - huge time saver alert!

๐Ÿ’™  View important information about your screens

๐Ÿ’™  Assign playlists to screens

๐Ÿ’™  Group screens together to save time

๐Ÿ’™  Set offline email notifications

settings

Within Settings, you can edit your account details, security, users and permission groups. If you have an Advanced or Pro account, you can set up additional user permissions and tags to control what certain users can and canโ€™t see.

๐Ÿ’™  Update account details

๐Ÿ’™  Add, edit and manage users

๐Ÿ’™  Set up multifactor authentication
