To learn how to display charts from your Infogram account on a digital sign with Screenly. Follow the steps outlined in this article below.

Getting your public Infogram chart URL

To integrate your Infogram chart with Screenly’s digital sign, you’ll need to generate a share URL for your Infogram chart. This URL will be added as content to your Screenly account. For a better viewing experience, we would recommend creating multiple charts and adding them separately to your Screenly account instead of creating multiple pages in a single chart.

The first step to getting the share URL is to log in to your Infogram account and open the chart you wish to display on your digital sign. At the top-right of the chart, click the “Share” button from the chart toolbar.

After clicking the “Share” button, a new page will appear. Select the “Public on the web” option from the right side of the page and copy the URL provided. This URL will be added as content to your Screenly account.

Setting up your digital sign

Now that you have your public URL, the next step is setting up your digital sign. To set up your digital sign, 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 for showing your Infogram chart on a digital sign is adding the public URL for your chart to your online Screenly account. To do so, follow the steps below.

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 Infogram chart to the playlist from your content collection.

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

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

To assign the playlist containing the Infogram chart 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.
