Setting up a Rotating Graphics Display

Scenario

You want to monitor the status of multiple devices or, for example, the conditions of multiple rooms in a building. You want this monitoring capability displayed on a large screen in a common area where there is no user-interaction (no keyboard or mouse.) For example, the lobby of a hotel or business.

You can configure a KIOSK station with a rotating display of select graphics for the user to visually monitor the status or conditions of these devices/spaces.

In this workflow, a designated user creates a new Rotating Graphics profile (.LDL) that inherits the KIOSK.LDL. The new profile can be configured to either display all the graphics and viewports under the Application View > Graphics node or a customized/restricted list.

NOTE: If a graphic file in the rotation is not loading or network connectivity is lost, the system automatically tries to retrieve the graphic in 3-minute intervals.

For related background information, see the following topics related to the Rotating Graphics (.LDL):

• Profile Text: Display All
• Profile Text: Display Customized Set of Graphics
• Rotating Graphics Key-Value Table
• Sample Profile - Customized Set of Graphics

Prerequisites

• You have a project with graphics you want displayed on a rotation.
• You have designated the user and decided on a profile text from the Reference section above.
• The designated user:
• Initially, has Administrative privileges to set up the profile.
• During this workflow, the designated user associates themselves to the newly created profile and will no longer require Administrative privileges.
