Digital vs. Static Inventory
The Inventory page allows you to view the digital screens and static faces (sellable units) currently available in your inventory. You can find these listed under two separate tabs, Digital and Static.
If you have only one inventory type (either Digital or Static), the system displays your inventory directly on the Inventory page without showing any tabs.
By default, the Digital tab is displayed. It lists all the digital screens (sellable units) available in your inventory.
The following are all the columns available in the list. You can customize the columns displayed and their order by using the
button.
Some columns are available only for Broadsign inventory, while other columns are available only for Third-Party Players inventory. For more information, see Broadsign Digital Screen Inventory vs. Third-Party Players.
