Campaign Widget

Organize content playback placement and timing with the Campaign widget to deliver your contents on an even larger scale.

Properties

Behaviour

In the Behaviour Menu, you can customize the animation settings:

• If you turn off the Animated function, elements in the active channels will just switch to the next element instead of animating out and in, similar to the Gallery widget's animation.
• In the Animation selector, you can choose between animation types. You can set the delay time and the animation length here.

Please note:

If you are using widget animation, please consider page timing! Pages are advised to have at least 5 second length to show up properly.

Please note:

Master and Overlay pages do not show up inside channel widgets!

Contents

In the Contents section, the widget's content playback can be set.

Automatic vs Manual Mode

In the Automatic vs Manual Mode section, you can customize playback settings:

Automatic Display

Switch on the Automatic display to play items in the channel playlist automatically.

On-Demand Display

Switch on On-demand display to interact with the widget and navigate the playlist manually.

• Manual display type can be: amount or time. Amount is a set number from the channel item playlist, and time is a set duration of time allocated to items.

Hardware Accelerated Player

The Hardware Accelerated Player option manages the video playback behavior.

Placeholder Content

You can Choose placeholder Content, and a page from it, which will show up as a default page when there is no available channel to play. If you do not choose a placeholder, then the channel widget will not show up if there are no channel elements to play.

Channel Tags

• With the Channel tags option, you can add widget tags separated by commas into the channel widget using the Widget tags you can set while creating channels in the Settings >> Channels menu.
• If the Match all tags option is enabled, all entered tags must be an exact match with the widget tags of the channels.
• If the Match all tags option is disabled, the channel widget will play all channels that match at least one tag from the box.

For example:

• You created a channel with a Widget tag: "APPLE"
• You created another channel with a Widget tag: "BANANA"
• You created a third channel with two Widget tags: "APPLE" and "BANANA"

Then you filled the channel tags: box with both tags like this:

• If the Match all tags option is disabled, the channel widget will play all three channels because all created channels match at least one tag from the box.

• But if you enable the Match all tags option, only one channel will be played because only one matched both tags from the channel tags: box.

• If the With tags only option is enabled and the channel tags box is empty, the channel will not play anything until the box contains at least one tag. If the option is disabled and the box does not contain any tags, all active channels will be played in the widget until at least one element is entered.

Please note:

The tags you can add to the channel tags: box are not compatible with Screen tags; they will only function with the tags from the Widget tags field of the channel.

Proof of Play
