# EasySignage Dashboard

After you sign in to the EasySignage management console, you land on the **Dashboard**. It gives you a quick view of your account and shortcuts to the most common tasks.

The dashboard has two main rows, with a status bar between them:

1.  **System Statistics**
2.  **Screens and Playlists**

You can reach every other part of the platform from the **left sidebar**.

## Getting around: the left sidebar

The sidebar is grouped into sections:

-   **Main:** Dashboard
-   **Content:** Playlists, Media Assets, Schedules
-   **Devices:** Screens
-   **Support:** Help
-   **Bottom of the sidebar:** Settings and Account

## 1\. System Statistics

The first row shows four cards:

-   **Online Screens:** how many of your screens are connected right now.
-   **Offline Screens:** how many screens are not connected.
-   **Storage Usage:** the percentage of storage used, plus the amount used out of your total (for example, 81.5 MiB / 12.0 GiB).
-   **Screen Licenses:** how many licences your account has, and how many are **Used**.

The screen cards only appear for users who can see screens, and the **Screen Licenses** card only for users who manage screens.

On the free plan, the **Storage Usage** card also shows **Expand storage**. Click it, then click **Add Licenses**: buying at least one paid licence expands your storage to 10 GB.

### Add licences from the dashboard

1.  On the **Screen Licenses** card, click **Add Licenses**.
2.  You’re taken to the **Screens** page.
3.  Click **Add Licenses** at the top of the page to continue.

### Status bar

Below the statistics, a status bar sums up your screens and playlists:

-   When every screen is connected, it shows **All \[number\] screens are online.**
-   When screens are offline, it shows how many, with the hint **Open Screens to troubleshoot connectivity and players.** Click **Screens** to go straight to the Screens page.
-   On the right, it shows how many horizontal and vertical playlists you have.

## 2\. Screens and Playlists

The second row has three cards: **Screens**, **Horizontal Playlists** and **Vertical Playlists**.

### Screens

If you haven’t added a screen yet, the card shows: _“To assign a screen to your account, click on the ‘add screen’ button.”_

**To add a screen:**

1.  On the **Screens** card, click **Add Screen**.
2.  The **Add new screen** window opens. If all your screen licences are in use, the licence purchase steps open instead; see [Licences and Billing](https://easysignage.com/help/licences/digital-signage-licences/) .
3.  Under **Click below for installation instructions**, choose your device type. If you don’t have a device yet, click **Buy Signage Players**.
4.  Follow the instructions to install the EasySignage player app on your screen.
5.  Open the app on your screen. It will show a unique **screen ID**.
6.  Back in the window, fill in:
    -   **Enter the ID displayed on the screen**
    -   **Screen Name** (for example, “Reception TV”)
    -   **Screen Location** (for example, “Reception”)
7.  Click **Add Screen**.

**Good to know:** Setting up many devices at once? Click **[Provision Devices](https://easysignage.com/help/screens/pre-provision-devices-digital-signage/)** at the bottom of the window.

Once your screen is added, go back to the **Dashboard**. It now appears in the **Screens** card, and the online and offline counters update.

Click a screen in the list to open it on the **Screens** page and manage it.

3.  Enter a **Name** for your playlist.
4.  Optionally, choose a **Team** from the dropdown.

**To open a playlist:** click it in the list. The playlist opens, and you can start adding content.

**Tip:** Use horizontal playlists for landscape screens and vertical playlists for portrait screens.
