How to set up your uniFi+idle

• 1.

  Create one or several articles

  Your uniFi+idle will display a number of uniFi+ articles in a repeating loop. 
  Begin your configuration by creating one or several articles. How to create articles 

  Start from the Articles section and add a new article:
  
  

  TIP 1: The +idle will change how an article is displayed based on the content provided. Thus if an article only contains an image or a video, the media will be displayed in full screen and otherwise the +idle will display the complete article with text and media.

  TIP 2: If you want to control for how long each article will be displayed, you can configure this in the screens settings-section

  TIP 3: If you only want your article displayed in a specific period of time, you can configure this period when editing the article. Go to ‘settings’ and activate ‘Time limit’ to choose the date span in which the article should be active.

  Within the Content Picker editor you can attach your articles. Remember to click Save

  TIP: The 'basic' presentation you just created can be used on other screens as well. Even if you have +display or +activs attached to your account, you will be able to reuse presentations across these different types of displays.

  TIP 2: If you want to present books or events, you can also use the presentation types: "Event calendar" or "Digital bookshelf"

  TIP: If you prefer to have the same content on several +idles. You can group these by adding a +idle-group in the setup view. When you have created a group, simply unfold it and drag the +idles you want to the dark gray area beneath the group name.
  Content for the group can be added by choosing the “configure” button next to the group (same way as when configuring content for just one +idle)
