How to Organize Digital Signage Screens into Groups?

Learn how to organize your digital signage screens into groups with EasySignage to manage and publish content at scale.

What is a digital signage screen group?

A group lets you schedule playlists for multiple screens at the same time, making it easier to manage and update content consistently at scale.

With screen groups, you can:

  • Publish the same playlist or schedule to many screens at once
  • Keep content consistent across screens
  • Manage and update screens together instead of one by one

 

How do I create a screen group in EasySignage?

You create a group from the screens page in the EasySignage management console and give it a name and orientation.

To add a group:

  • Open the management console and navigate to the screens page
  • Click on the Groups tab
  • Click on Add Group
  • Type in the group name and choose horizontal or vertical
  • Click on Save

 

How do I assign content to a screen group?

Once the group is created, you set its media source by choosing a playlist or a schedule for the whole group.

To assign content:

  • Click on Set Media Source
  • Choose a playlist or a schedule for this group

 

How do I add screens to a group?

You add a screen to a group from the screens page by changing its media source to the group instead of an individual playlist.

To add a screen to a group:

  • Go to the screens page
  • Click on the media source of your screen
  • Instead of assigning a playlist, click on Groups in the dialog and assign your screen to the group you created

 

How do I view and manage screens in a group?

You can review which screens belong to a group and continue adding more from the Groups tab.

To manage group screens:

  • Click on the Groups tab again
  • Click on screens near the group name to see the screens added to this group
  • Add more screens to the group as needed
