Intro
The Yodeck Portal allows you to manage your content and Players.
Main Menu
This main menu includes the following sections:
- Media – upload your Media files for use by the Players.
- Apps – use Apps, which are small applications designed to show information, like RSS tickers, clocks, text-based content, and more
- Playlists – set up a Playlist, which is made up of sequences of Media and Widgets that are shown one after the other
- Layouts – create layouts, arranging Playlists, Media, or Widgets on a virtual screen.
- Schedules – create a date/time-based Schedule to set which Layout, Media, or Playlist should be displayed.
- Screens- set up your Players and assign them Default content to use and, optionally, a Schedule for time-based content overrides
These are the sections you will use to manage your content and players.
Main Area
In the Portal’s middle area, you see the respective parts of the Yodeck Portal when you click on them. These include Media, Playlists, other content files you have created, and other configuration forms you may use throughout the Yodeck Portal.
Settings Menu
In the top-right corner, there is a drop-down configuration menu. This contains all the stuff that you rarely access:
- My User Profile – settings that relate to you as a User of your Yodeck Account (your timezone, name, email, etc.)
- Account Settings
- Add Screens
- Buy Yodeck Players
- Users
- Audit Log (Enterprise plan Only)
- Logout
Upload Progress & Help Icons
Right next to the Settings Menu, you will see two icons.
- The Upload icon provides you with a progress indicator for Media uploads (and encoding, if applicable)
- The Help icon provides you with a menu for accessing help options. It is located on the bottom-right of your screen.
Check Help Icons for more insight.
Pushing Changes to Screens
It is essential to note that whenever you upload new content or change the content to a screen in your Yodeck account, you must click the orange flashing “Push to Screens” button on the Portal’s right top side of your screen. These changes take place in the affected players. Check Pushing Changes to Screens for more information.
