Dashboard

The Dashboard is the first screen you see after signing in (the top icon on the navigation rail, at /). It is a read-only overview of your fleet and your content delivery. The only action on the page is Create campaign in the header — everything else is a summary that links you to the screen where you can act.

The Dashboard with a healthy fleet — tiles populated, the funnel converged, and Needs attention showing All clear

Read the four metric tiles

The row of four tiles summarises your workspace:

• Devices — how many screens you have enrolled; the small line beneath shows how many are online right now. Opens Devices.
• Active campaigns — how many campaigns are currently in the active state; the line beneath shows your total number of campaigns.
• Storage — the total size of everything in your content library; the line beneath shows the number of files.
• Content — how many content items you have; the line beneath shows how many have finished processing and are Ready to publish.

Each number is computed live from your fleet, campaigns, and content — there is nothing to configure here.

Follow your content to the screens: the delivery funnel

The Delivery status funnel has three stages that follow a campaign from publish to playback:

1. Published — the number of campaigns currently active (published and within their schedule).
2. Downloaded — shown as converged / assigned. “Assigned” counts the screens that have a campaign directed at them; “converged” counts how many of those screens have finished downloading and are running exactly the content you published.
3. Playback verified — shown as playing / assigned. This counts the screens that are right now reporting that they are playing.

Note

Verified is real playback, not configuration. A screen only counts as verified while it is actively heartbeating a playing state. A campaign published to a screen that is switched off, unplugged, or between downloads does not count as verified. This number is proof that content is on the glass — it is never inherited from the fact that you pressed publish.

Act on “Needs attention”

The Needs attention card lists screens that need a look:

• offline — the screen has stopped checking in (its heartbeat lease lapsed).
• syncing manifest — the screen is online but still downloading the content assigned to it.
• health check needed — the screen is online but reporting a problem.

When every screen is healthy, the card shows a single All clear line.

Two screens that stopped checking in appear here as offline

Note

An unplugged screen appears here as offline within about 90 seconds — the time it takes for its last heartbeat’s presence lease to lapse. To dig into a specific screen, open Devices and select it.

Create a campaign from the dashboard

Create campaign in the page header opens a small dialog that asks for a Campaign name and a Timezone, and creates a draft campaign. After it is created the Dashboard tiles refresh so the new campaign is reflected.

The quick-create dialog — name and timezone only

This is a shortcut. For the full campaign-building flow — content, screens, and schedule — see Launch your first campaign and the campaign editor.
