Content tools allow signage assets to
be grouped by project and previewed
within the DCM. Individual assets can be
reused in multiple screen layouts.
Layout tools allow the user to create
and manage the arrangement and
positioning of graphics within the
digital sign. Screen designs are saved
independently of content, allowing
common layouts to be used with a
variety of content.

of content within the layout. Multiple
playlists can derive from a single layout.

by location.
