Everyday contribution

Digital signage updates local staff make in Quick Editor.

The people who know that tonight’s special has changed, or that the lift on level two is out, are rarely the people who run your signage. Wallboard lets them make that change themselves. They open the fields a designer made editable, type the new value and check it in a preview. An interface profile hides the rest of the platform.

How it works

What an update looks like.

  1. Sign in to a short menu

    An interface profile hides the menus the person doesn’t use, so a front-desk account shows little beyond the content they update.

  2. Open the page

    In the playlist, they pick the slide that needs changing and open it in Quick Editor.

  3. Change the fields

    Editable fields sit on the left and a preview on the right. A colored border marks each widget they’ve changed.

  4. Confirm

    Confirm saves the new values to that playlist page. The original slide and its other uses don’t change.

Ways to contribute without learning the platform.

Quick Editor

Swap text, images, videos, QR codes, YouTube links and shape colors in the fields a designer opened up.

Crop without re-uploading

Zoom, pan, rotate or flip a photo inside its frame. The original file in the library stays as it was.

Same slide, different details

Add one slide to a playlist several times. Each page keeps its own values, such as one per menu item.

A spreadsheet link, no login

Share a table’s editor link with a manager. They edit rows in a browser or dictate a value on their phone.

Drop files into a synced folder

Connect a Google Drive or OneDrive folder. New files arrive in Wallboard at the next sync, which runs periodically.

A note for the whole team

The Notes card on the Home page holds reminders you can keep to yourself or share with your team.

What stays protected.

Hiding a menu is not the same as taking away a permission. Interface profiles only change what someone sees, while the role still sets what they can do, and a profile can’t grant more than the role allows. A Content Editor, for example, can fill in fields and build new content but can’t change content that is already assigned to a screen. On a shared table, you can lock the rows that matter, and the person with the link can’t remove the lock, rename columns or change a dropdown.

Keep shared editor links private. Anyone who has one can edit the table’s rows that aren’t locked, and changes reach every screen using that data straight away. To withdraw access, disable or delete the API key behind the link.

Bring the change your teams make every week.

Tell us what it is. In the demo we’ll set it up in Quick Editor, with only the menus that job needs.
