The easiest way to show upcoming events on your Rise Vision display is to use one of our Calendar templates. You can link the template to your Google Calendar to have it automatically show calendar events.
This brief video goes over the process:
Step 1: Create a public Google Calendar.
Create a new calendar at calendar.google.com. If you don’t already have a Google account, you can sign up for one for free.
Once you are logged into the Google Calendars website, in the left menu, click on the + symbol next to “Other calendars” to create a new calendar.
Give your calendar a name and click on “Create calendar”. A message will appear on the bottom of the screen confirming that your calendar was created. Click on “Configure” on that message.
Scroll down to “Access permissions for events”. Tick “Make available to public” and select “See all event details” in the drop-down.
Scroll down to “Integrate calendar” and copy the Public URL to the calendar. You’ll need it in the next step.
Step 2 : Pick a calendar template.
Create a presentation from one of our calendar templates. You can click on this link to view our templates that currently support Google Calendars. Just pick one of them and click on “Put This Template on Your Display”. Once you do, you’ll see a preview of what the presentation will look like once it’s on your display.
You can customize the template using the options on the left. To configure the calendar, click on the “Google Calendar” option. Paste the Public URL from your calendar into the provided field. You can set how many days, weeks or months ahead you’d like events to be displayed.
Note that if there are no events added to the calendar yet, no events will appear. You must add events using Google Calendar to have them appear on the presentation.
Once you’re done making changes, click on “Publish” on the top-right corner and pick a schedule to add your presentation to. The presentation will automatically update with events in the calendar.
