How do I manage several TVs at once?
In the TV list, you can select several TVs and apply the same action to all of them at once. The list also has search, filtering by tags/folders, sorting and a choice of how many TVs appear per page.
Selecting TVs
- In the TVs menu, tick the box next to the name of each TV.
- To select all the TVs on the page, tick the box at the top of the Name column.
- Open the With selected... menu, which now shows how many TVs are selected, and choose the action.
Available actions
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Change Playlist | Changes the playlist of all the selected TVs. Choose the new playlist and click Change TVs' Playlist. |
| Restart | Sends the restart command to the selected TVs. Confirm with Restart TVs. Only TVs that are Online receive the command. |
| Edit tags/folders | Choose the tags/folders and whether they will be added to the ones the TVs already have (Add) or will replace them (Replace). Click Save. |
| Receive Notifications | Turns on (Yes) or turns off (No) the email sent when the TVs go Offline / No communication. Confirm with Change Notification settings. |
Important: if you choose Replace without entering any tag/folder, the tags/folders of the selected TVs will be deleted. The dashboard asks for confirmation first.
Note: Change Playlist, Restart and Edit tags/folders appear only for users with permission to edit TVs. Notifications are not available on all plans; see how to receive an email when a TV goes offline.
Searching and filtering
- Search: click Search, above the list, or press any letter key on the keyboard, and type what you are looking for. The search covers the TV name, the barcode, the description, the operating system and the brand and model of the Android device.
- Tags / Folders: click Tags / Folders and then a tag to see only the TVs that use it. The number in square brackets shows how many TVs have that tag. See how to organise with tags/folders.
Sorting and choosing how many TVs to see
- Sort by: Link Date, Name, Operating System, Last Communication, App Version or Alerts. The arrow next to it shows whether the order is ascending or descending; to reverse it, choose the same option again.
- TVs per Page: 15, 30 or 50.
Tip: when sorting by App Version, the app version appears next to the name of each TV.
Screenshot of each TV
The Screenshot column has a button to see what is playing on each TV. It is available when the TV is Online. See how to see what is playing on the TV right now.
