Messages are the actual content pieces that get displayed on your screens. They are created using a combination of categories and masks, and typically include text, images, or media elements depending on the layout defined in the mask.

Creating a New Message

To create a message:

  1. Go to the ‘Messages’ section
    Select Messages from the main navigation menu.

  2. Click ‘Create Message’ or the Add (+) button
    This will open the message creation page.

  3. Select a Category and a Mask

    • Choose the appropriate Category to organize your message.
    • Select a Mask that determines the layout of the message.
  4. Fill in the message fields
    The fields available will depend on the mask you’ve selected. Common input types include:

    • Text areas
    • Image uploads
    • Video links or uploads
    • Scrolling text
    • Dynamic elements (e.g., time, date, weather)
  5. Customize each content area
    Input or upload the required media and text into the predefined zones.

  6. Save your message
    The message will now appear in the list and can be previewed, edited, or published.
