NoviSign offers a powerful feature called Popup Event, which lets you display content in a popup-style window, similar to how popups work in Microsoft Windows or PowerPoint. This means a designated creative will appear on top of your currently playing content—either as a small centered window or full screen—based on a specific trigger.
Popup Window Events
Supported Platforms
This feature is supported on:
-
Android APK v5.0.79 and above
-
Windows EXE v5.0.76 and above
How It Works
A Popup Event allows you to show a creative temporarily on top of whatever content is currently playing. It’s triggered by a specific event (for example, pressing the letter “A” on a keyboard). Since this popup can appear at any time, it’s configured at the screen level, not within a playlist.
How to Set Up a Popup Event
-
Log in to your NoviSign Online Studio.
-
Go to the Screens section and enter a screen in Edit Mode.
- On the top you will see a new button called “Events”.
-
Click the “Events” button and then you’ll see the events popup setting screen.
-
In the popup window that opens, click “New Event” to create a new event popup.
-
Next you choose one creative (that is the creative which will pop up in the event which you’re now creating) and press the “Set” button on top.
- Now, give the popup event a name (just for your own reference), duration (for how many seconds this creative will appear on top of the currently playing content) and choose the trigger (that means which actual event, such as a keyboard event will, in fact, trigger this popup event; please notice that for partners, the engine events can be added to any user through the Admin tool under each user). Then Press “Next”.
- In the next window choose whether you’d like the popup creative to be full size or cover only part of the running content. Then press “Next” and “Finish”.
- Now you will see the event in edit mode with all the settings you did. Press “Update” in order to save this popup event in the screen.
Managing Popup Events
To edit or delete a popup event:
-
Go to the screen in Edit Mode
-
Click the “Events” button
-
You’ll see a list of configured events, with options to Change or Delete
What Happens When Triggered?
Now, once this screen plays its content, every time it gets the triggering event (i.e. keyboard event “a” in our example), it will display the popup creative for the duration which you set it to over the running content.
