With Apps you make your digital signage content more dynamic and up to date.

Creating an App is fantastically easy. Show secondary Apps like a clock or weather forecast together with your main message in a Campaign or Composition. Content forward Apps like News or Tables can well be shown full-screen in a Playlist or directly on its own.

Start by creating the App!

Creating an App

1. Go to the Content page of your OnSign TV account.
2. On the top of the page, hit the "New" button and choose "App".

3. A pop-up window will appear with all available Apps you can choose from to use as Content for your digital signage.
4. Browse through the different categories in the sidebar menu. The example picture shows the Sports section.
   
5. Select the App you want to add to your Content and fill out the settings. Here, we chose to add a clock.
   
6. Check the look of the now personalized app by clicking on “Preview”. Some Apps give you a guidance on which screen sizes are best for this App.

7. If the result is satisfying to you, confirm with “Save”. The new App will be automatically saved to your Content library, ready to be used on screen.

You can reuse the App as many times as you like. There is no need to create a new instance of the App all over again. Just keep in mind that if you edit any settings, the changes will apply everywhere you use this particular App instance. If you want the same clock but in a different color and want to keep the existing clock for other Content, you need to create a new clock App.

Add an App to a Campaign

1. With your App created, it can be used in a Campaign. If you are already in your Campaign Editor but haven't create the App you want to add yet, there is a second way to create an App directly in the Campaign Editor. When creating or editing a Campaign, scroll down to the bottom of the page until you see the Content box.
2. It's the same process as above. Hit the "New" button and choose "App".

3. Again, a pop-up window will appear with all available Apps. Create and customize the App. It will appear in the Content folder.
4. Drag the already existing or the newly created App to the Timeline to add it to the Campaign.
