OptiSigns: Creating a Playlist

You can sign into OptiSigns (our digital signage solution) at https://stnorbertcollege.optisigns.net/. If you need access to this, please reach out to the ITS Service Desk.

OptiSigns allows you to assign a single asset to display on a screen, but what if you want it to cycle through assets. That's where playlists come in. Instead of setting a screen to display an asset, you can set it to display a playlist. Before we get to that point, we need to first create a playlist. 

(1) Navigate to the "Playlists" tab and (2) click "Create Playlist"

Now that your playlist is created, there are a few settings you can adjust before adding content. 

1. Click on the name of the playlist to edit it. Clicking off this box will save your changes.
2. Information regarding the playlist size, length, and total amount of items are displayed here.
3. These are the undo and redo buttons
4. Click on this settings gear to change further settings regarding your playlist such as the default transition, transition speed, and the ability to shuffle the order.
5. You can set the color label of the playlist by clicking on this circle
6. The right menu panel is where you can find your assets and drag and drop them into the playlist
