Quick Setup Tutorial

The purpose of this quick setup tutorial is to describe the basic steps in setting up your domain on Broadsign Publish.

Note: Only users assigned the Local Administrator or Network Operator role can access the domain dashboard. For more information, message your Broadsign contact.

Once Broadsign Publish has been activated on your domain, you will be able to log in and see your screens from your network (as they appear in Broadsign Control Administrator). These screens (players) must be on a player configuration that has the Broadsign Publish Integration enabled. This will allow Broadsign Control to grab content from Broadsign Publish. For more information, see Configure Broadsign Publish in Broadsign Control.

Registered screens are also used to create screen groups. For more information, see Manage Screen Groups.

Note: You can also unregister one or more screens. The screens will no longer be accessible to anyone using them. In addition, messages will stop playing on them. Messages previously on the unregistered screens will be dissociated from them.

To register players:

Using the admin login, go to the Dashboard.

Under Resources, click Screens. The Select Screen to change page opens. If you have synced players from Broadsign Control Administrator, they will appear here.

To see only those screens that need to be registered, under Filter, select No.
Select the player or players you want to register.

From the Action drop-down menu, select Register selected screens. Then click Go.

Add a User Group

In Broadsign Publish, you can create groups to assign permissions and access to specific users.

To add a user group:

Using the admin login, go to the Dashboard.

Under Accounts, click User Groups. The User Groups page opens.

To add a group, in the top-right corner click Add User Group. The Add User Group page opens.

Enter the Name of the user group (e.g., "France - Local Operators").
If applicable, click the Add a folder shared to this group link.

The Group Share Folder section is displayed. You can create and name the following folders that will be shared with the new user group:

A Screen folder in which you can put screens you want to share with the group.
A Library folder in which you can put content you want to share with the group.

Note: You can always adjust sharing options from the Broadsign Publish interface afterward. Users in this group will continue to have access to any prior shared items. For more information, see Add Content Sharing.

Add Permissions to the user group by using the right arrow or double-clicking the permission. If you want to add all permissions, click Choose all. Every member of this user group will inherit the permissions that are set in this box. For more information on the permissions available, refer to Users and Groups Permissions.
