# Digital signage

## What is Digital Signage?

Digital Signage is a display page designed for monitors, corporate TVs, or shared screens. Its purpose is to automatically display the most relevant information to people in the office or common areas, without requiring technical interaction.

On a single screen, users can view:

* screen logo, title and subtitle;
* date and time updated;
* featured news;
* latest news;
* events agenda.

Content is updated based on information already published in SharePoint. This means that, in most cases, no direct intervention on the Digital Signage page is needed: simply keeping news and events updated in the relevant intranet areas is sufficient.

## Who needs it?

Digital Signage is useful for:

* communicating important news in reception areas, lobbies, common spaces, or facilities;
* displaying upcoming events and daily appointments;
* enhancing internal communications already published on the intranet;
* providing a constantly updated, easy-to-read view.

## Configuration

Digital Signage is configured via Azure and managed by the technical team. This means that structural changes cannot be made independently by end users and must be requested from the technical team.

The main configurable options, are the following:

1. [#general-screen-information](#general-screen-information "mention")
2. [#highlighted-news-section](#highlighted-news-section "mention")
3. [#news-section](#news-section "mention")
4. [#events-section](#events-section "mention")

### General screen information

You can define:

* the screen name (which appears at the top left);
* an optional subtitle, such as the location or reference area;
* the logo to display at the top;
* the language and localization of the date and time;
* the enabling or disabling of a specific screen;
* automatic page refresh, so that content aligned with the linked sources is always displayed.

### Highlighted News Section

For the main news area, you can configure:

* whether or not to display featured news;
* whether to show a visual label on featured news items;
* which categories or tags to show;
* the section title;
* from which intranet site to retrieve the news;
* how many news items to display.
