This section describes how screens are added to Broadsign Reach.
Screens can be added to Broadsign Reach manually in the UI or by importing a .csv template.
As a part of the on-boarding process, the Broadsign team will pre-fill the .csv template for you and take care of the data imports.
You can add one screen manually by entering its corresponding data in the sections available in the Broadsign Reach interface.
It is also possible to add data for multiple screens at the same time by importing this data from a .csv file (this is currently done by Broadsign).
