Hi Dan!
thanks for the response.
No mate, the goal is not to see what is going on on the player, it is to see what content you have applied to it. Yes, you are correct we have tools for preview of layout but the preview is only for a single layout.
What we need is to be able to preview everything applied to a player for the following reasons.
-
Player has more than one layouts scheduled + default layout (this can sometimes be more than 10 layouts). When there is a need of knowing what is scheduled to lets say player001, we need to first check the schedule and after that dig all those layouts one by one and click to preview one by one.
-
We have a player with wrong content, client says there is wrong content but doesn’t know or can’t tell what is the name of the wrong content but can tell how it looks. In order to be able to find and remove the wrong content, we need to do all mentioned at “reason1”.
What we need is,
In order select “Displays” go to the display you need to see the content of, select “Preview”.
This action checks all the content applied to the player and starts displaying it in order of how it is assigned. Yes, this is a virtual player that shows the content applied to the selected player but it is not the real player at the field.
Yes,
great idea to add a button to the Agenda View in Schedule but this however should show everything scheduled to the selected player not only one layout at a time.
If we say to the user, “Click the preview button to see all the content assigned to the player”, user will jump of joy but if we say, “You have to click one by one and see what you have assigned”, user will say, come on, you serious? i have over 10 layouts scheduled, do i really need to click each one of them?
I hope this gives you an idea
