Data Feed Introduction

Dynamic content is perhaps one of the most important aspects for signage screens. While OnSign for sure can handle RSS, Facebook, Instagram, and other feeds, what if:

  • You want to put an approval flow in place and moderate the content coming from a feed?
  • Or you want to create your own Data Feed, curate it, and get input from coworkers?
  • Maybe you would like to use your RSS feed in an App designed for Facebook? Why Not?

With the “Data Feed” feature all of this is possible!

Think of a Data Feed as a spreadsheet where each column is a field which can be used by Data Feed enabled Apps or Dynamic Compositions. Once created, a Data Feed will look like this:

Data Feeds can:

  1. Be created from scratch.
  2. Import data from an external data source.
  3. Subscribe to an external data source, so your Data Feed will be automatically updated when there is a change in the data you subscribe to.
