At the bottom right, you will find this button:
The mechanism will give you access to the settings or your account.

Once you have added or selected your media from your media library, select them and click on the “Add to poster” button. You will then need to rename your poster, set its duration, and, if you wish, assign it a date and time. Finally, choose the playlist(s) you want to insert your poster into:
Then click here : 
¶ The media library
The media library is accessible from the home page, from the left side menu, but also when adding posters to your playlists.
You can then manage all your medias (images and videos) as well as the E-templates of Emity !
- You will never run out of inspiration with E-Templates (see « Administration » paragraph)
The media library can be displayed in two ways, depending on your preferences. In the ‘Gallery’ version, you can create folders to sort your media by category.
In the ‘Table’ version of the media library, create some filters to group and find your medias easily.
Click on « add a media » at the bottom of the page to download and import your files. You will then be able to change the name, associate them with a folder and find information about the media.
You can edit the media, download, and delete them in a few clicks.
The ‘table’ version will enable you to discover in which playlist is the media you have selected :
¶ The filters
These filters will allow sorting in your media/playlist/screen. It is particularly useful for marketing campaigns.
¶ The players and screen
On the screen page, you will also find the general control panel, which allows you to manage screen display. This means you can immediately see the status (on/off, connected/not connected, up to date/ not up to date) of all your screens thanks to the green and red colors.
Adding and removing screens is no longer possible from this page. You must now submit a request to your contact or to our sales/support department.
You can rename your players (boxes) and view their status : indicator lights will illuminate next to the players registered on the platform. If the box and screen are not connected to each other, this icon will appear red with the last connection date. If they are connected, the icon will be green. If the screen is not registered, the icon will be black; if the screen is off, it will be red; and if the screen is on, it will be green. Visuals that are not up to date or have just been modified cannot be automatically displayed on the screens, so the icon will be red. On the other hand, if the visuals are saved and up to date on the screen, the icon will be green.
Then by clicking on the screen of your choice, you can access other features.
For example, you can:
• Edit ➡ rename, geolocate, manage filters and playlists.
• Update broadcasts on this screen.
• Monitor ➡ estart, shut down, access more precise settings.
- Here is the screen monitoring feature, with all its settings when it is turned on :
• Access to the status of your screen :
• WebTV ➡ see what the screen is broadcasting.
• Scenario ➡ download the scenario of the screen.
On this part you can also find the geographical information of your screens :

¶ The playlist
To help you organize your content when you have a lot of visuals and/or screens, we recommend creating and using playlists. To create a playlist, simply click on « playlists » on the home page. At the bottom of this page, click on ‘add’ to create a new playlist.
Once you have named the playlist, you can then edit it and associate the playlist with one or more screens. Each screen, and therefore each player, can have several playlists. The player first plays its local playlist, this means all the poster contained on the player. It then plays the playlist associated with it one after the other, in alphabetical order. The only exception is a priority playlist.
¶ Types of playlists
Choose a type of playlist according to your digital signage needs.
 |
Distribute your content automatically and easily. |
 |
Merge your playlists (works with split screen) for smooth and consistent playback of your media simultaneously. Example: One playlist per screen area, so you can have one area that is different on all screens and one that changes. |
 |
Broadcast priority messages. |
 |
Create a playlist to broadcast in case of an emergency, incident, or exceptional event; it interrupts current broadcasts. |
 |
Optimize your point of sale with this specialized checkout playlist. |
 |

 |
Broadcast music and audio playlists (E-SPEECH). |
 |
NFC technology enables specific messages to be broadcast without contact. |
¶ Organisation of the playlist and creation of the content
To begin creating a poster, you can go directly to the ‘playlist’ tab and select one. After choosing a playlist, you will be redirected to the poster and creation and editing page.
The bar at the top of your page shows the playlist you have chosen, the duration of that playlist, the recommended resolution for your media, and the playlist schedule.
On the right, by clicking on this button, you will see the screen linked to this playlist appear. You also have the option to link another screen or unlink them.
The different areas have been created to make the platform easier to use. You will find three areas on your web page:
| ZONE 1 | Preview and order of posters |
| ZONE 2 | General control and configuration panel |
| ZONE 3 | Control panel and poster settings |
-
Zone 1 :
Presentation of the poster with the selected visual in large format. Below, thumbnails, with the option to change the order of the posters using drag and drop by clicking on the poster and moving it to the right or left. -
Zone 2 :
• “Landscape” allows you to divide your screen into several parts so you can view multiple pieces of content at the same time. It also allows you to set your playlist to portrait mode.
• « Opening hours » allows you to schedule the times and days when the playlist will be broadcast, with the option of setting a priority playlist.
• « Calender » shows the posters scheduled for the playlist.
• « Preview » allows you to see a real preview of your playlist before sending it to the screens.

 |
Create and add visual content to your poster: design, photos, videos, widgets, text. |
¶ Screen orientation and division
-
Screen orientation and division
Landscape/portrait orientation
Set the orientation of your playlist relative to your screen by clicking on the portrait/landscape icon on the left (area 2):
The custom division feature allows you to modify the poster space when you divide the screen into 2 or 3 equal parts. The new display dimensions will be shown. The advanced settings are used to modify the layout of the poster if it is in the wrong orientation on the screen. The auto/manual button is for LED screens, to set the exact number of pixels on the screen.
In the case of a multi-screen configuration: It is essential to indicate, in the poster settings, which poster will be displayed on the different sections of the screen.
In the case of an LED screen configuration: Controlling an LED screen is specific. The software manages this control, making it possible to set the number of LEDs on the assembled LED panels.
- Screen division :
With our software, it is possible to display an image across the entire screen or to divide the screen into 2, 3, or 4 parts.
The division allows you to display multiple pieces of information (time, weather, text, etc.).
Here is an example :

¶ Programming
¶ Poster planning
By selecting the “Date/Time” icon (area 3), schedule the media broadcast:
• By default, if nothing is scheduled, the poster, and therefore the playlist, will be broadcast continuously.
• By selecting a period and a time, the poster will only be displayed during that period (e.g., from January 1, 2022, to February 1, 2022, from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.), while other posters may have a different schedule.
• By selecting recurring days, the poster can, for example, be displayed every Monday and Tuesday during the period.
The system currently allows two simultaneous schedules :
¶ Playlist planification
You can schedule the broadcast of your playlist using the playlist time management feature. First, sellent you playlist, then click on the ‘schedules’ button in the left hand menu. Your playlist will automatically play continuously if you do not schedule it. By adding times and days, the playlist will play according to this schedule.
If you have several playlists, you can prioritize one of them. This means that a certain number of posters from your playlist will appear on the screens on a recurring basis. By changing the playlist type from ‘normal’ to ‘priority’, you allow the selected playlist to be displayed according to the frequency you have determines.
See the section on ‘playlist types’.
¶ Screen planification
You can program your screens to turn on and off from our platform. To add the time you want your screen to turn on, first click on the “Screens” category on the E-MANAGER home page, then click on the screen of your choice, and then click on “Power” in the left-hand menu to add the start and end times.
Once programmed, your screen will automatically turn on at the scheduled times and display the programmed content via the connected box.
¶ Déployment
¶ Preview
Once you have finished editing your posters and playlists, we recommend using the preview function to check your creation before deploying it: Click on “Preview” in the left-hand menu (area 2). Below the image, you will see the number of active posters in this playlist and the display time scrolling by.
You can skip or return to the media by clicking on the left and right arrows (which appear on your poster when you hover over it with your mouse) and you can also remove or add sound
¶ Publication channel
By clicking on your player, you will see the WebTV option in the left-hand menu, which allows you to stream your content on a new screen. Your TV or computer can then stream your media programmed on the box. This feature is limited depending on the solution you have chosen.
¶ Deferred deployment and backup
To save the contents of the playlist, press the “Deploy/Save” icon located in the left-hand menu (area 2). If you want to publish your playlist at a later date, simply click on the corresponding button and then select the desired date and time of publication.
¶ Applications & screen configuration
¶ Applications
After selecting a player, you will see the « aplications » button in the side menu. This feature, available in the excellence package, allows users to :
• Display only one website on their screen
• Use the touch option to display interactive content when someone is using the touch screen, while still displaying dynamic content with playlists when it is not in use. This is where you can insert an E-click link.
• Launch a web application via a link
• Insert music into their programming.
• Configure and manage the flow of people in a location with the waiting list
¶ Configurations and groups
Screen configurations are useful for having a default display when adding a screen.
This is mainly used for large accounts that add multiple screens. Generally, this is done at the beginning of the account creation process. The configuration allows you to add posters, modify the feed, add broadcast times and dates, link playlists, etc. The most important thing here is to link the configuration to a group. This ensures that each time a screen is added to the group in question, the screen will take on the group's configuration.
Groups allow you to combine multiple screens or filters.
¶ Administration
The administration side is more intended for the IT department, which will be able to monitor the proper functioning of the screens. It also allows you to create playlists, screen groups, and manage “Administrator” and “User” rights. Requiring additional training, a dedicated manual is available to the account administrator. Note that this module is particularly useful for managing large accounts containing numerous visuals.
The “Administration” section also allows you to organize screen management. This brings together the management of your accounts, screens, and playlists. In addition from the home page, you can check your account activity and get an overview of your use of the platform
On the left-hand menu, you will also find a “Statistics” tab for a more detailed list of actions taken on your account. It is also possible to specify a specific date/period of activity to view.
