Dashthis dashboards can be shared using a public link option which makes it easy to display dashboards from your Dashthis account on a digital sign with Screenly. The steps involved in displaying your dashboards on a digital sign will be outlined in this article.

Configure Dashthis with Screenly

To display a Dashthis dashboard on a TV or monitor, you would have to get the public share link for the dashboard you would like to display. To do so, you would have to log in to your Dashthis account.

The next step is to open the dashboard you would like to display on your digital sign. At the top-right corner of the dashboard, click on the “Share” icon to open the dashboard sharing sub-menu.

From the sub-menu, click on “COPY SHAREABLE LINK”. This URL is what you will use to add the dashboard as content to your Screenly account.

Setting up your digital sign with Screenly

To set up your digital sign with Screenly, first purchase a digital signage player. A digital signage player is a small physical device that renders content to your TV or monitor - Screenly offers the Screenly Player and Screenly Player Max. You can then pair your digital signage player and associated screen to your online Screenly account.

The next step is to log in to your Screenly account here. If you do not have a Screenly account, register for a 14-day free trial.

After logging in to your Screenly account, click on the “New” button on the top right of your screen. Then, click on the “Content” tab in the dropdown menu.

Next, click the URL tab in the popup modal and paste the public URL into the “Enter URL link” input field. Be sure to click “Finish” on the bottom right after you successfully add the URL.

With the above steps completed, you can now add this asset to a playlist. To add your content to a playlist, click the “Playlist” tab from the left-hand menu. If you wish to add a new playlist, click the “+ New Playlist” button on the top right of the new screen that loads. To edit the new playlist or a previously existing playlist, click on the name of the playlist you wish to edit from the list of playlists.

Within the playlist, click the “+” icon in the Content section. From there, you will see a popup that will allow you to add the Dashthis dashboard to the playlist from your content collection.

In the new “Add Content to Playlist” popup, find your Dashthis dashboard content and click the “+” button next to the file. Then, click the “Done” button below.

You will then see your Dashthis dashboard in the playlist’s content section. Next to the dashboard content listing, change the listing’s duration to the amount of time you want the dashboard to display on your screen. Be sure to click “Save” on the bottom right.

To assign the playlist containing the Dashthis dashboard content to a screen, click on the “Plays On” input field in the “Edit Playlist” section.

A dropdown menu will appear containing all your screens and group labels. Select the screen(s) or group(s) of screens you would like the playlist to show on. Make sure to click “Save” at the bottom of the dropdown after selecting the screen(s) or group(s) of screens you want.

Once you assign the playlist containing the Dashthis dashboard content to your screen(s) or group(s) of screens, your digital signage dashboard will display on your TV or monitor in just minutes.
