New Feature: Content Frame Rotation

April 7, 2020

We're excited to announce that we've added the ability to rotate content frames on devices that don't normally support rotation!

Using this feature you can rotate almost any content frame 90°, 180°, or 270° to show your content in the orientation you prefer. For example, if you have a TV running as a digital sign powered by an Amazon Fire TV stick, these devices don't normally support rotation. If you wanted to run this sign in portrait mode instead of landscape mode you would be unable to. With this new feature you can mount your TV in portrait mode and use this feature to rotate the content instead of relying on the Fire TV to support rotation.

New Feature: Battery Status

We're excited to announce that we've added the ability to view charge level of the battery in devices that have them.

To check the status of the battery, click the device on the dashboard to navigate to its device page. You'll see a battery icon on the top right near the device name, and hovering it will show a tooltip with more detailed information.

New Feature: Content Expiry

May 2, 2019

We're excited to announce that we've added the ability to expire content files automatically. You can now set an expiry date and time on images, videos, and other content types. When the expiry date passes, the content will be automatically removed from the configuration on all devices. This feature is great for making sure that things like limited time promos get removed automatically.

Follow these steps to set an expiry date on a file:

  1. Click the "Content" link in the header bar to go to your organization's Content management page.
  2. Click the edit icon next to the file you want to set the expiry date on.

  3. In the "Edit Content" dialog, enable the "Expire this content..." checkbox, then choose the date and time you'd like the content to expire.

  4. Click the Save button, and you should now see a green clock icon next to the item on the Content page.

  5. After the content has expired, the file will be highlighted in red on the Content management page. Expired content will not be automatically deleted, so you can always remove the expiry or extend the expiry date if you like.

New API Endpoint: setDeviceTemplate

April 11, 2019

We're excited to announce that we've added a new API endpoint (setDeviceTemplate) for changing the template on devices.

To use this endpoint, you'll need an API token that has read/write permissions. You can view and configure tokens on the Organization > API page.

To perform a quick test and view more details about the setDeviceTemplate endpoint, navigate to Organization > API > Documentation > setDeviceTemplate.
