Brand kits
Each kit holds logo slots, five color slots and three font slots. Keep several for sub-brands or seasonal campaigns.
Content and creative
Design a digital signage template once, and let every site fill it in.
Somebody in your organization owns the look of your screens. In Wallboard that person designs a layout once and saves it as a template. They mark which fields other people may change, and tie colors, fonts and logos to a brand kit. After that, a store or campus team starts from the template instead of a blank canvas, and anyone working in Quick Editor can change only the fields you opened up.
How it works
From one design to a template everyone uses.
Design
Build a single-page slide in Slide Designer, or a multi-page layout in Content Designer, from widgets and layers.
Make it a template
Change a content folder’s type to a template folder. Everything saved inside becomes a private template.
Choose what can change
Switch on Quick Edit for the widgets others may edit. Then bind colors to brand kit slots, along with fonts and logos.
Hand it over
Colleagues create content from the template, or drop it into a playlist and fill in the editable fields.
What designers work with.
Re-skin with a kit
Apply a different kit in Quick Editor and every bound slot switches to the new brand. The layout doesn’t move.
Embed or insert
Embed a template page and later changes to the template appear there too. Insert it for an independent copy.
Text that fits the box
Dynamic font size scales text to fill a widget without resizing it. Custom fonts sit alongside the defaults.
Stock images and cropping
Filter stock photos by category, orientation or color, then crop the original or a Full HD version before use.
Undo within a session
Slide Designer keeps every autosaved version while you work. The list clears when you leave or refresh the page.
The brand kit editor.
A brand kit opens full screen, with its settings on the left and a live preview on the right that changes as you swap a logo, a color or a font. The five default color slots are Primary, Secondary, Accent, Light background and Dark background, and the font slots are Header, Subheader and Body. Only these default slots can be bound to a template for Quick Edit, while extra colors and fonts you add still appear in the designer’s color and font pickers, grouped by kit.

Where templates come from.
When someone creates content from a template, Wallboard shows three tabs. Public holds templates available to everyone on your server. Private holds the ones your own team saved in template folders. Dedicated holds templates your server owner has assigned to your account. Tags and a search box narrow the list, and clicking a template opens a preview before anyone commits to it. Templates export and import, so a design built on one Wallboard server can move to another. Only Administrators can manage, lock or remove template folders, so nobody else can remove or lock them.
