Getting Started
Dashboard
The PADS4 CTRL Center Dashboard provides real-time insights into the health and performance of your PADS4 digital signage system.
Upon successful login, the Dashboard page displays essential system metrics, allowing you to monitor viewers, licenses, and server synchronization at a glance.
Viewers Overview
Viewer Tile
- Displays the real-time status of online and offline Viewers.
- Non-green colors indicate one or more Viewers have been offline for a certain period.
Viewer Status
- Tracks how long a Viewer has been offline.
- Helps identify long-term issues—e.g., a Viewer marked offline for over a week may indicate it is undergoing repairs.
Contract & License Status
- Displays your license details and expiration dates.
- When a license is near expiration, the dashboard will provide a timely alert.
Synchronization Status
(Visible only if your PADS4 system includes multiple servers—sub/backup servers.)
- Shows the number of pending changes between PADS4 Servers.
- If pending changes are 0, the PADS4 Server is fully synchronized with other servers.
Drill-Down Server Insights
- Click the Server image to access detailed information on connected servers and pending updates.
- To switch between different PADS4 Servers, click the ”…” menu and select “Overview” to monitor incoming changes for a specific server.
