Step-by-step Setup Guide

Step 1: Go to the Dashboard Section

Start by logging into your digital signage platform. Upon logging in, you will be taken to the main interface. In the main menu, visit the dashboard. The Dashboard provides you with a complete view of all your screens, playlists, and widgets that are currently running in your digital signage network.

Step 2: Go to the Playlist Section

Using the dashboard, find and click the Playlist in the left-hand sidebar or main menu. The most essential element of your digital signage is the playlists; they determine what content is shown on your screens and in what order. It is here that you will set up your India Today news feed as well as any other content you desire to show.

Step 3: Click on the “ + Create Playlist” Button

Inside the playlist section, click on the “ + Create Playlist” Button to begin creating a new playlist. This will launch a creation form where you can specify the name, settings, and content of your new playlist. To manage the content of your India Today news, it is a good idea to create a special playlist that will allow you to keep the content clean and arranged.

Step 4: Fill in the Credentials and Click on Create Playlist

Enter the necessary playlist name and any other settings that appear on the form. After adding all the required information, press the “Create Playlist” button and confirm the creation of your new playlist. Be sure to give a descriptive name so that you can identify it later, and this is particularly important when you are managing several screens or locations. 

Step 5: Your Playlist is created successfully

That will show a confirmation message that your playlist was created successfully. Your new playlist will now be displayed in the Playlist section. This Playlist will be the container of your news widget of India Today. You can now start adding content to this playlist.

Step 6: Go to the Widget Section

Then, go to the Widget part of the signage software. Widgets are pre-built content modules that enable you to have certain kinds of media or live data feeds on your screens. The India Today widget is specifically designed to pull and display live news content from India Today directly on your digital signage screens.

Step 7: Click on the India Today Widget

Under the widget, go through the available widgets and find the India Today Widget. Click it to start the setup process. This widget is customized to feature real-time news content of India Today - this makes it an ideal fit in the lobby, office, or waiting areas, and any other public screen where news updates of interest are required.

Step 8: Create Your New Widget

When you select the India Today widget, you will be asked to create a new instance of the widget. This will enable you to make the widget settings to suit your screens. Assign your widget a memorable name that is descriptive, so that it can be easily handled and recognized in your widget library.

Step 9: Fill In Your Credentials 

Enter your credentials and configure the widget settings according to your requirements. This may include selecting the type of India Today content feed, display preferences, language settings, or any API keys if required by the platform. Carefully fill in all the fields to ensure the widget functions correctly and displays the intended India Today news content.

Step 10: Click on the Save Button

After entering all of your settings and credentials, press the save button to save your widget configuration. Saving will save all your personal settings and have the widget all set to be added to your playlist. Always verify your settings before saving to prevent configuration errors.

Step 11: Your Widget has been created successfully

After creating an India Today widget, a success notification will be displayed. This widget has been added to your widget library and can now be added to any playlist. This widget will continuously fetch and display live news from India Today, ensuring your digital signage screens always show the latest headlines and updates.

Step 12: Drag and Drop the Widget

It is time now to include the India Today widget in your playlist. Return to your playlist and drag and drop the interface to add the widget to your playlist. The intuitive feature makes it easy to arrange multiple content items in the order you want them to appear on screen. Arrange the Indian Today widget in the content order at any point you choose.

Step 13: Click on the Full Screen button and the Green Next Button

Adding your widget to the playlist, you can press the Full screen button to see how the content will be displayed on your screens. Once you are satisfied with the layout and settings, click the green Next button to proceed to the publishing stage. This step allows you to make final adjustments before your content goes live. 

Step 14: Target Your Screen and Click on the Publish Button

Choose the screen or screens where you would like to publish your playlist. You can customize particular screens by either their name or location, which is useful in controlling your screens in various locations like reception, meeting rooms, corridor, or lobby TVs. After making your choice of the target screen or screens, your playlist will be sent live by clicking on the Publish button.

Step 15: Click on the Green Continue Button

A confirmation dialog will appear. Click the green Continue button to finalize the publishing process. This action confirms that you want to push your India Today news playlist to the selected screens. The platform will begin syncing the content to the target displays immediately.
