Inside the Studio’s Media Center, you can upload and manage all your content—images, videos, and documents—with simple drag-and-drop functionality. Files can be easily organized and categorized, making it quick and convenient to use them in your signage layouts.

NoviSign’s Online Studio features a rich library of interactive widgets to bring your screens to life. These include:

Every template is fully editable—resize, delete, or move any element, or add new ones using widgets

You can easily schedule content to play at specific days, times, or on recurring intervals. You can even set start and expiration dates for automatic publishing and removal.

Need others to manage content in specific locations? Create sub-user accounts with full or limited access based on roles or responsibilities—perfect for large organizations with multiple branches or departments.

The Studio also includes powerful monitoring and analytics features to help you stay in control:

• Monitor View: See the status of each media player (online/offline) and when content was last updated

• Device Performance Report: Track how often content plays, which user manages it, and the total exposure time

• Proof-of-Play: Get detailed reports on which media assets played, how long, and on which players

These insights allow you to optimize your content strategy and ensure your screens are delivering results.

Whether you’re creating a simple slideshow or managing a network of screens with multi-zone layouts, the NoviSign Online Studio has everything you need.
