Interactivity

Interactive digital signage that responds to people and places.

A visitor taps a map. Someone lifts a product off a shelf. A meeting runs over, or a sensor reading crosses a limit. In Wallboard each of these is an event, and each event can trigger an action you choose in the content editor, whether that means jumping to a page, changing a widget, calling an API or booking a room, all without writing code.

How it works

How events drive your content.

  1. Pick the trigger

    A touch or swipe, a widget state, a sensor, a datasource change, a time window or a new page starting.

  2. Set the condition

    Match a sensor value. Watch a data field rise or fall. Or wait until nobody has touched the screen for a while.

  3. Choose the action

    Jump to a page, change another widget, call an API or run a calendar action such as extending a meeting.

  4. Decide the scope

    Keep an event to one page. Or make it content-wide.

What you can build.

Touch menus and kiosks

Buttons, text and images can jump to any page. One piece of content becomes a menu.

Forms on screen

Checkboxes, radio buttons, inputs with on-screen keyboards and a Submit widget collect answers at the screen.

Sensor-triggered content

Motion, pick-up and push-button sensors fire events that change what the screen shows.

Meeting-room panels

Built-in calendar actions can get, create, cancel, start, end, extend and suspend meetings from the screen.

Back to home after idle

After a set idle time, the screen goes back to its attract page.

Data that changes the page

When a datasource field crosses a value or empties, an event can jump pages or restyle a widget.

Interactions in the editor.

Touch actions live in each widget’s settings. Content-wide triggers sit under External Events, with separate editors for sensor, datasource, time-based and page-change events. Jump To can take its target from a fixed page, the event value or a property inside it. It also stops loops. Turn on widget statistics and Proof of Play records interaction events too.

Plan your first interactive screen with us.

Tell us where the screen will stand and what a visitor should be able to do there, from a room lookup to a short survey or a product list they page through on their own. We’ll sketch the pages and events in the demo, and our support team can help you test the flow on real hardware before it goes live.
