Property bindings allow you to dynamically link page properties to external data sources. When the data source updates, the corresponding page property will automatically update during playback.

For example, if you bind the Background Color of a page to an XML file, the background color will automatically change when the value in the XML file changes.

​
Property Bindings Overview

This section contains a list of page properties that can be bound to an external data source.
To create a binding, you must define at least:

  • Data Provider
  • Column (Field)
  • Row (Record)

​
Property

  • The specific page property to be bound (e.g., Background Color, Visible, etc.).
  • System-defined — cannot be changed.

​
Type

  • The data type of the property (e.g., Color, Boolean, Integer).
  • System-defined — cannot be changed.

​
Data Provider

  • Choose the data provider that supplies the data (e.g., XML, Excel, SQL, JSON).
  • If no data providers are available, create one first in the data provider setup.

​
Column

  • Select the data field (column) within the data provider that contains the value for the property.

​
Row

  • Select the record (row) within the data provider that holds the desired value.

​
Scroll

  • Enable this option if data scrolling should be applied.
  • When enabled, Data Scrolling Properties will dictate how the data is scrolled through during playback.

​
Example Use Case: Dynamic Page Visibility

  • Bind the Visible property of a page to a cell in an Excel file.
  • If the Excel value is “1”, the page will be shown.
  • If the Excel value is “0”, the page will be hidden.
  • This allows dynamic control over which pages are shown, simply by editing the Excel file — useful for schedule-based content.

Tip:
Property bindings are powerful for real-time adaptive content. For example:

  • Change background color based on real-time sensor data.
  • Show or hide pages based on external scheduling files.
  • Adjust transition effects dynamically.
