Forms are templates used to define the layout and structure of digital signage messages. They determine where content appears on the screen and how it’s formatted. Think of a form as a design framework that you can reuse across different messages.

Creating a new form

To create a form:
  1. Navigate to the ‘Forms’ section
    Select Category you want the form to be part of from the navigation menu.
  2. Click Add a Form
    This will open the Form editor interface.
  3. Define form settings:
    • Name: Assign a name that reflects its purpose (e.g., “Welcome Layout” or “News Bar”).
    • Resolution/Size: Select the appropriate screen resolution (e.g., 1920x1080 for full HD).
    • Orientation: Select Portrait or Landscape depending on your display setup.
  4. Design the mask layout:
    Use the editor tools to add and position content zones such as:
    • Text blocks
    • Image zones
    • Video areas
    • Scrolling tickers
    • Dynamic data fields (e.g., date, weather, RSS)
  5. Save your mask
    Once the layout is set, save the mask so it can be reused when creating messages.

Managing existing masks

  • Edit: Open any mask to update its layout or adjust fields.
  • Duplicate: Create a copy of an existing mask for quick modifications.
  • Delete: Remove unused masks (note that masks in use by messages may be locked from deletion).
Masks allow you to maintain a consistent visual identity while giving users flexibility to update message content within a predefined structure.
