Introduction
In this guided path, you will learn how to publish channels for digital signage in your organization. A digital sign is essentially a TV screen or a device running the Appspace App. As the TV screens and devices are running the Appspace App, you will be able to target them and publish your channels to them.
In order for you to be able to publish channels to devices, a network or IT administrator in your organization will need to ensure that the registered devices and device groups are in the Appspace device inventory and that they are configured to automatically play channels that are published to them. Once all these devices have been properly configured, any channel that you publish to them will appear automatically.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following prerequisites met:
- You will need Publisher permissions as a minimum for a channel.
- Publisher permissions gives you the ability to manage a channel in its entirety and how it gets published.
- As a Publisher, you choose which devices and users you want to publish channels to.
- Publisher permissions are granted by the admin of the account, which will typically be the Account Owner.
- You have one or more existing channels that you manage.
- The IT/Location Admin in your organization has configured devices to autoplay channels sequentially.
- If your IT/Location Admin has a naming convention to easily identify devices that are used for digital signage, this will make it easier for you to look for those devices when publishing.
