Player Tags help you organise your Players within your Signagelive Network. Even better, you can use these tags to ensure content only appears on Players with (or do not have) specific tags.

Suggested Examples:

  • You could use tags to display specific ads or content only for players in stores that stock a particular product.

  • You could use tags to display specific ads or content only for players in stores in a particular country, or perhaps part of your office building.

Please look at this article for more information on adding conditions to your assets.


How to Manage Player Tags

Player Tags are a powerful tool in Signagelive that help you organise your Players and control where specific content appears on your network. Think of them like labels that you can assign to your Players!

Why Use Player Tags?

  • Organisation: Easily group and categorise your Players (e.g., "Retail - Front Store," "Office - London," "Outdoor Displays").

  • Targeted Content: Ensure content only plays on Players with (or without) specific tags. This is perfect for localising ads, displaying region-specific messages, or managing different content for portrait vs. landscape screens.

For example, you could tag Players in your electronics section with "TV_Ads" and only publish TV-related promotions to them.


How to Manage Tags on a Single Player

You can easily add, edit, or remove tags for individual Players directly within the Player Manager.

  1. Log in to your Signagelive Network as a User or Administrator.

  2. Select Network from the main menu.

  3. Select Manage.

  4. Choose the Player: Click on the name of the Player you wish to manage.

  5. Select the 'Tags' tab from the Player Details menu (usually in the left sidebar).

  6. Here, you can:

    • Add a new tag: Type the tag name into the input box and press Enter or click the "Add" button.

    • Remove an existing tag: Click the 'X' icon next to the tag you want to remove.

  7. Click Save at the bottom of the page to apply your changes.


How to Manage Tags on Multiple Players

If you need to apply or remove tags from several players simultaneously, this feature saves you a lot of time!

  1. Log in to your Signagelive Network as a User or Administrator.

  2. Select Network from the main menu.

  3. Select Manage.

  4. Select Multiple Players: Use the checkboxes to the left of each Player's name to select all the players you want to manage.

  5. Click the 'Manage Tags' icon. Once you've selected players, this icon usually appears above the Player list.

You'll now see a unique view that helps you manage tags across your selected Players:

Common Tags:

These tags are present on all the Players you've selected.

Tags on More Than One Player:

These tags are present on some, but not all, of your selected Players.

Tags on Only One Player

These tags are unique to just one Player within your current selection.

From this view, you can:

  • Delete Tags: Click the 'X' next to a tag to remove it from all selected players.

  • Add New Tags: Enter the new tag name in the input field and click Save. This tag will be applied to all selected players.

Top Tips:

  • You can now use the Search Bar in the "Network > Manage" area to search for players by their tags quickly.

  • Folder Tags are also visible in the Tag Manager view, in a different colour. Just so you know, these cannot be removed from here; to edit them, you need to open the Folder's Properties.
