Screen Groups
A Screen Group is a named collection of screens. Assign a schedule to the group instead of individual screens and every member screen plays that content. Add a new screen to the group later and it automatically picks up all existing group schedules on its next sync.
Get there: Sidebar → Screens → Groups tab, or /screen-groups
Why use screen groups?
Section titled “Why use screen groups?”- Schedule once, update everywhere — change a group’s schedule and all members update.
- Logical organisation — group by location (“North Wing”), function (“Menu Boards”), or team (“Marketing”).
- Cleaner scheduling page — one schedule row covers many screens instead of one row per screen.
What you see on the page
Section titled “What you see on the page”The Groups tab lists all screen groups you have access to.
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Group name. Child groups are marked with a child badge. |
| Actions | View Details, Rename, Move to Folder, Copy ID, Delete |
Groups that belong to another group show a child badge in the name column.
Create a screen group
Section titled “Create a screen group”Click + New Group in the page header. Enter a name and optionally choose a parent group. Click Create.
Screen group detail page
Section titled “Screen group detail page”Click View Details from the context menu, or click the group name, to open /screen-groups/[id]. The detail page shows:
- Member Screens — the screens in this group. Click Add Screens to add more; remove a screen from the row menu.
- Schedules Targeting This Group — all schedules currently assigned to this group.
Adding screens to a group
Section titled “Adding screens to a group”From the group detail page, click Add Screens. A checklist of all available screens appears — tick the ones to add and confirm. Screens can belong to one group at a time.
You can also set a screen’s group from the screen’s edit dialog (see Adding a Screen).
Renaming a group
Section titled “Renaming a group”Right-click the group row → Rename. Type the new name and confirm. The change takes effect immediately.
Moving a group to a folder
Section titled “Moving a group to a folder”Right-click the group row → Move to Folder. Pick the destination folder. Use this to organise groups by region or department.
Deleting a group
Section titled “Deleting a group”Right-click the group row → Delete. A confirmation dialog warns that the group will be removed from any schedules that target it. The member screens themselves are not deleted — they become ungrouped.
Permissions
Section titled “Permissions”- The Groups tab appears only when your role includes screen group access.
- Creating, renaming, and deleting groups requires write permission on screen groups.
- To control who can see or manage a group’s screens, use Folders and set permissions on the folder the group lives in.
