• Prepare Display

Copy the URL presented when you first navigate to the Display page. You can paste this URL into a browser tab to push event data to that tab. Each time that URL is in use (each unique tab), a new box will appear within the display page. This box controls what data is being displayed on the tab where the URL is being used. You will need a tab for each TV/Projector at the event. 

EXPERT TIP

• Push Content

1. Paste URL in a browser tab

2. Navigate back to the original tab and click the blue "Push Content" button. 

3. Next, select content block template by clicking "Select a Template." If you do not have a content block, you can click "Push a Content Block" and then proceed to step 4 to create a content block template. 

4. Create a content block template by selecting one of two layouts, shown below.

5. For this example, we will be using the the two column lower third template. 

6. Next, after clicking into any of the blue "Add Content Block" boxes you will be prompted to, depending on the selected box, choose "Shoutouts," "Item Rotator," or "Event Earnings." 

7. Next, you will be required to specify the items you would like shown on the Display by checking the box to the left of the item. 

8. After doing so you will need to set your Display settings, shown below. 

9. You are now ready to push your content to your newly created Display. To do this, you will need to click the blue "Push Content" button. 

10. Confirm the template that is being displayed within your additional tab is the correct content block template. 

11. Open the additional link to view your Display. 

• Remove Display 

Removing a display box is as simple as deleting the browser tab where the URL was pasted. This will automatically remove the box from within the manager dashboard and you will see the initial screen, pictured above in Step 1.
