There are two ways to add an App (or Widget) to your Layout, a single App within a Static Zone, or a Playlist of one or multiple Apps within a Schedulable zone.

How do I add a single App to my Layout?

If you require one single App to be shown on your Layout and for it to always be present for the entire duration of the Layout itself, you should add a static App to your Layout.

This is achieved by following these steps:

  • Log in to Signagelive as a User or Administrator

  • Select Content

  • Select Layouts

  • Open an existing or create a new Layout

  • Select Static App zone from the menu ribbon, resize and position to the area of the Layout you wish it to be shown

  • Select Zone Properties

  • Use the drop-down to choose an App from your Asset Library or select โ€˜Add Newโ€™ to upload a new App (you will need the .wgt file to upload a local file)

How do I add multiple Apps to one zone?

To show data from more than one Signagelive App:

  • Add a Schedulable zone to a layout

  • Save your layout with no content in it

  • Assign a playlist to this empty zone during the publishing of your layout

  • Add multiple apps to the chosen playlist and save it

  • Your player will now update and cycle through multiple apps

By using this method, you can access extra conditional playback features such as recurrence and validity within the Playlist Creator. You can learn more about these features here.
