On the Content Library tab you may view and upload media files, and create web page items.
By selecting a file you can view more information about the item, like file size and when it was last updated.
Schedules
On the Schedules tab you have the option to create named schedules. They can be used for several playlists which simplify if you have a lot of playlists that you want to configure to be active for example only during the opening hours. Named schedules are also useful when you have occurring events, as they can contain several sub-schedules.
Reports
The Reports tab lets you produce reports about what content that has been shown on which screen and at what time.
System
The System tab is only visible to network administrators and server administrators.
Here, administrators can manage users and user groups, manage permissions, view the available licenses and download new software.
