Just started getting around Xibo and am really impressed with the capabilities. We plan on using Xibo for digital advertising in our hotels and liqour stores with a generic set of jpeg images playing across a number of sites along with a set of images that are site specific.
Please correct me if i am missing something here.
I was wondering if is possible to be able to group media files then assign a group of media files to a layout?
E.g. i would upload 10 images group 5 of them as site1 then group the other 5 as site2. Once grouped i could assign the group of images to a layout.
Ideally i would like layouts to not be touched by end users and for the end users just upload new images to the groups.
Correct me if i am wrong, currently a user would have to upload the image then go to the layout and add that image to the media to the region. What i am suggesting would mean that the user only has to upload the image and assign a group.
You’re correct in your assumptions. At the moment, the user would need to assign those images to the layouts.
In 1.8 series we’re having a new feature called Timelines which will allow you to create reusable region timelines. In that case, your users could have permission to edit a region timeline and then you can reuse that in multiple layouts.
