Tagging and organising media

Using media tags is a great way of categorise and organise your content. In combination with saved filters is a great way to keep your media organised. Tag media by clicking "tags" on a media item. Input desired tag name and press the "add new... "-button to create a tag. Tags are shown in the "tags" column.

Media tags are searchable. So whenever you are in need of a specific media - simply search for the tag name and all media with that tag will show up. Again - organisation and a good naming strategy is key here, so try to use simple short names for tags such as "menu", "food", "week 24", "campaign X" to make them easy to find and quickly searchable.

Media drawer

When building playlists or creating signs a media drawer will be available to you. It works just like a mini version of the media library - allowing for quick access to all your media library files. Simply use the search bar or scroll to find the file you want and drag it to your playlist.

It also packs a hidden feature - the search bar results also shows free stock photos from unsplash. So if you are in need of a nice forest background, just search "forest" and beautiful forest pictures from will show up in the results!

❗ Deleting media

Think twice before deleting media in the media library. If a media file currently playing on a screen is removed – it will also be removed from that screen.
