Uploading Content to New Terry Digital Signage

After a slide has been approved for display, it can be assigned to New Terry Digital Signage by following these steps:

1. On the Presentations page, click New Terry Digital Signage in Name column. The presentation is displayed.

   Open

   

    

2. To access the slide rotation, click ads in the left hand column or click the ads placeholder in the presentation.

   Open

   

    

   The playlist of current slides is displayed. These slides shown for 10 seconds before moving on to the next one in the list.

    

3. Click Add to display a dropdown menu of options.

    

4. Click Image. A window is displayed with all saved content.

    

5. Select the folder where your new slide is saved. For example, the current school year’s folder such as 2022-2023. The folder is displayed.
   
   

6. Select the new slide in the folder. A checkmark is displayed over the file when selected.

    

7. Click Select in the bottom-right corner of the window. The window closes and the slide is added to the list. The slide is always placed at the bottom of the list, but can moved by clicking the handle to the left of the filename and dragging it to the desired location.

    

8. New Terry Digital Signage uses the standard 10-second runtime for each slide before it moves on to the next one in the rotation, however you must set the dates for the slide to run. To do this, click 10s to the right of the filename. The Edit Playlist Item window is displayed.

    

9. Uncheck the Show all the time checkbox. Unchecking it displays a link; it indicates that the slide will start running on the current date and run indefinitely. Unless the slide is intended to run indefinitely (this is uncommon but does occasionally occur), click the link to display the Edit Timeline window.

    

10. Use the Start Date and End Date calendar fields to select the dates the signage should start and end. The slide will end at the end of the selected end date.

     

11. Click Apply. The new start and end dates are now displayed on the Edit Playlist Item page.

     

12. Click Apply. You are returned to the presentation. The slide is now ready for display.
    
    

13. Click Save in the bottom-right corner to save the presentation.
    
    

14. Click Publish in the bottom-right corner to publish the presentation. If the slide is scheduled to run today, it will begin running immediately. Otherwise it will run on its scheduled start date.
