Best Practices: How to Add Content to Your Display Using Presentations

This article shows you how to add content to your display using presentations in Rise Vision. Follow these three simple steps to create, customize, and publish content to your displays.

Requirements

• A Rise Vision account
• At least one active Display

Instructions

Step 1: Choose a template to start from

1. Log in at risevision.com and click on Presentations in the left explore tab.
2. Click the + Add Presentation button to open the template library.
3. You now have two options. Either:
   1. Use the search bar and key words to see what template might be available related to what you want to show. For example, if you want a welcome message type "welcome".
   2. Use the left-hand category & content filters to find a template that suits your design (e.g., filter by “Image” for showing one or a series of images, or "Playlist" if you want to show a series of different content from images to videos, or "Zoned" if you want the content to only play in a sub-section of the presentation).
4. Click the button to select your template.
5. Optional: If brand settings are configured, the template will apply the brad logo and/or colors automatically. This feature is only available for Enterprise/Unlimited subscriptions.

Step 2: Customize the template with your content

1. Each presentation is made of components listed on the left side of the editor. A component is an individual feature of the presentation (ex an image, a line of text, etc).
2. Click a component to customize it using the prompts provided.
3. Use the preview on the right to click directly on components and edit them visually.
4. Click the button next to the component list to add new components.
5. For advanced tips, read the advanced customization article.

Step 3: Publish the presentation

1. When changes are saved, the message will show “All changes saved” in the top-right corner.
2. Click the Publish button in the top-right corner.
3. A pop-up will appear. Click in the Select or add a new schedule dropdown.
4. Check the box for each schedule where you want the presentation to play.
5. Click Select to confirm.
6. Click Add to complete publishing.
