We are trying to set up Xibo to display a Rota that will be changed on the fly the people who change it will not have the ability to put this information into Xibo
my question is if there was a document created could Xibo periodically check the info on the document and essentially update itself?
Thanks,
Depends what document will it be and how will it be published.
If it’s published online, then you could use webpage widget to show it - it would reload the webpage each time the widget reloads.
If it can be published as rss feed then you could use ticker to show it.
If it’s something that could be linked to a dataSet, say remote dataSet (json source) then you could use that, or say if that’s excel spreadsheet, you could write VBA script link it to a button on the spreadsheet and the script would put the data into Xibo dataSet.
If it’s a pdf document, then you could write a script and a task in OS to execute said script in some time intervals and script would assess if the document was changed if so then upload it to CMS, replacing existing one and updating it on all layouts.
There certainly are options, it just depends what you have and how you want to handle it.
