Template
A template is a content layout assigned to a device. Templates define what information a display shows and how the data is structured on screen.
Template Types
| Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Meetingroom | Displays meeting schedules, current and upcoming events for a room |
| Meetingarea | Displays area level information across multiple rooms |
| Screen | Generic content display for wayfinding, announcements, or media |
| Empty | A blank template for devices not yet configured |
Properties and Data Providers
Templates contain properties that control their behavior and data providers that feed content into the layout. A meetingroom template pulls calendar events from the Exchange Connector while a screen template might display static media from the asset library.
Status
Templates track their lifecycle through status values.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Used | Actively assigned to one or more devices |
| Unused | Available but not currently assigned |
| Poisoned | Marked as broken or incompatible |
Assignment
Templates belong to an organization and can be assigned to teams. A single template can be shared across multiple devices within the same team or organization. When a template is updated, all devices using it receive the changes in real time.
