Every company can have 1 free display in their organization. A free display does not have access to all the features of Rise Vision. A comparison of Free and Licensed displays can be found here.
How do I set up content on a free display?
- Click "Schedules".
- Click "Add Schedule".
- Click on "Add Playlist Item", then choose "URL". Type the web page's address into the URL field, and click "Add".
- Select your free Display in the distribution.
- Click "Save". Your web page should now be showing on your free display!
Limitations of a free display
Free displays show their content from a web page, so there are a few important things to keep in mind:
- It has to be a web page you don’t have to log in to. Some pages require a password to access them. Since your free display has no way to enter a password, it won't work.
- Web pages won’t update automatically when they are changed. For example, if your web page features a list of events which are changed every hour, it won't update on your display until it restarts.
Frequently Asked Questions
My schedule is set up like in this article, but my display says "Missing License"
