Using triggers, you can setup advanced conditions and actions for your digital signage playback.
Trigger setup is possible through the web interface, menu Settings
– Triggers
. It is possible to backup and restore triggers using XML configuration backup.
Setting up a trigger
The basic building block of each trigger is the control element. There can be multiple control elements defined, each one is evaluated separately. Each control element defines:
- Which event starts this trigger – screen was clicked, face detection was run, key was pressed or minute timer was run.
- What are the conditions for this trigger – for example position of the screen click, how many faces were detected, what time it is and more. Conditions can be combined using logic predicates “and”, “or” and “not”.
- What action should be executed if the conditions are satisfied – for example change playlist or screen layout, display particular file, pause or resume playback etc.
You can add building blocks from the left menu to the workspace using drag&drop.
After the triggers are saved, the actions will be automatically executed if the event occurs and the conditions are satisfied.
