What are templates? In here we will learn what are templates and how to create one.
Purpose: The purpose of templates is to allow users to quickly change some small part of content they wish to display on a screen without having to create a whole new content!
For example: let’s say that this digital signage system needs to be used at a coffee shop. The coffee shop has daily specials that they wish to update in the morning. The coffee can use templates to create a design for the daily special display and define the area where the price goes as a changeable field. This template can be opened in the morning every day to change just the price, then save the template. This way the price can be changed without recreating the entire design every time.
In this template, if you wanted to change the pricing to business cards, all you would just need is to select the box text and change the price!
How to create a template:
1. Log into the L Squared Hub and select "Template" on the left hand side of the menu
2. Select "Create new template"
3. Provide a name as well as the resolution size of your template that should correlate with your device. out.
4. Whether you'd like to add text boxes, a background or even an image, you can do so to customize the template of your dreams! Just make sure to click "Save & Close" After you're finished.
Note: You can also select save if you'd like to save your work but proceed.
