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.
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.
