Overview
The Configuration section allows you to manage all foundational settings that are later used when creating and managing players. These configurations ensure consistency across your inventory and simplify player setup.
To access this section, navigate to Inventory → Configuration.
Within Configuration, you can create, edit, or delete reusable items such as networks, channels, hardware types, and more.
Networks
Overview
Networks represent the physical or organizational grouping where players are deployed.
All players within the same network share the same multiplier index.
Managing Networks
Add a Network – Click New Item and enter the required details.
To create a network, start by assigning a clear and unique name that reflects either the campaign or the location where the players are installed.
You can configure the duration of the network to control how long content plays on each player:
Minimum Duration (min/s) – The shortest allowed display time for content.
Maximum Duration (max/s) – The longest allowed display time for content.
By setting these, you ensure that content playback aligns with campaign goals and expected audience exposure.
In addition to the network name and the duration of the network, you must configure the network indices, which directly influence how impressions are calculated across all players within the network:
Multiplier Index – Used to adjust the multiplier of all players in the network through a coefficient percentage on a daily basis. This is typically increased on days with higher expected footfall, such as busy weekdays or during special events (festivals, markets, book fairs, etc.).
Seasonality Index – Used to adjust the multiplier of all players in the network through a coefficient percentage on a monthly basis. This allows you to account for seasonal trends, such as holiday periods or months with consistently higher or lower audience traffic.
By properly configuring both indices, you can more accurately reflect audience volume and ensure realistic impression calculations across your network.
You can also select the checkbox below the indices if you wish to apply the same index value to all days.
Edit a Network – Click the Edit icon next to the network you want to modify.
Delete a Network – Click the Delete icon to remove a network.
