How to Create ticker feeds in Connected

Ticker feeds

When creating your presentation for a Ticker feed to be created you need to select Ticker Zone.
Now, Open Note Pad (in Windows) and enter your text that you would like to display. For IOS users use TextEdit.
Once you have typed the message that you would like to display within that zone, save this to a file that you can access. This is just text at this stage and all formatting will be controlled through BrightSign Connected.
Now, select Upload new Media from the dropdown Content tab.
Select, choose Files, and select the file that you have saved and require for that Zone.
Once all files have been selected, on the bottom bar, select the folder that you would like to save your text document to, this can be any folder. (this is files in the cloud). You can sabe these to your own profile folder.
Once selected click on UPLOAD CONTENT.
In BrightSign Connected go to the Ticker Zone and double click on the zone.
From the files in your account navigate to the folder that you saved your uploaded text.
If this does not appear in your assets select the refresh button on the right side of the Asset pane.
Click on the saved text file and drag this into the content area. This is now in your Zone.

From the right panel you can select how you would like the text to be displayed.
