The words used in Quickesign. Other signage systems may use different names for the same things.
What you’ll need
- Nothing; this is a quick reference.
Terms
- Screen (or device): a player, such as a Roku or Fire TV, linked to your account. You can link any number of screens.
- Linking: connecting a player to your account. When you open Quickesign on the player, it shows an activation code; enter it on the Link New page of the dashboard.
- Layout: what a screen shows. A simple layout is a full-screen slideshow; a multizone layout splits the screen into zones.
- Zone: one area of a multizone layout: a slideshow, text, a date and time, or a rectangle.
- Primary zone: the zone that decides when a multizone layout has finished playing. See Primary Zone.
- Playlist: the layouts a screen plays, in order. One layout is often all you need; more than one needs the Pro plan or higher. The slides in a slideshow are also called its playlist.
- Schedule: changes a screen’s playlist automatically at set times. See Scheduling Playlist Changes.
- Widget: a slide with live content, such as weather, news or a calendar. See Widgets Overview.
- Files: your library of uploaded images, videos, PDFs and PowerPoint files, which you can sort into folders and use in any layout. Uploads are resized to the Default Resolution in your account Settings; older Roku models may need 720p.
