Register screens
In Smartsign, each display is called a screen. In order for a screen to display content, you must first register it in your Smartsign site.
Quick steps
- Note the registration code showing on your screens
- Sign in to Smartsign
- Register the screen by entering the registration code
Registration code
Turn on your display and note the registration code. If it doesn't show a registration code, have a look at Install & configure displays.

Sign in
Are you using an official Smartsign cloud service?
Sign in at eu.smartsigncloud.com or
au.smartsigncloud.com, depending on where your
players are set up.
Are you using a Local server or a custom cloud service?
Contact your IT departement or support@smartsign.se if you need assistance to sign
in to your server/service.
If your organization is using Smartsign Cloud for the first time, follow claim license & set up site to create your site. For on premise installations, ask your server administrator to set up the site and your access.
If your organization is already using Smartsign, make sure you have access to the correct site where the screens should be added. Read more about Sites, users & invitations.
Register the screen(s)
When signed in to Smartsign, go to Screens, open Register screen in the top right corner and choose Register screen. If the screen list is empty, you can also click Register screen in the middle.
By default, the Site owner and Group admin profiles can register screens; Publisher cannot. If the action is unavailable, select a screen folder you can access or ask your administrator to check your permissions.
Screen name
Enter the screen name and the six-character registration code.
Press Check to verify the code and screen connection.
If you don't have a registration code, have a look at Install & configure displays.
You can now see details and settings of the screen. By default, screen uses settings from the screen folder.
Under Screen folder, click Select to choose the destination folder. Check the Time zone and the settings shown on the right. To add a description, click View and open Info.
Screen folders are used to set default channels and active time (when screens turn on and off) for all screens within that folder. It is very useful when you want to use same content on multiple screens.
Check the inherited Active time before registering. You can change it in the screen folder settings, or click View and open Active time to set it for this screen.

Click Register screen to add the screen to your site.
The panel closes and a notification confirms that the screen was added. Check its connection and license status in Screens before expecting content to play.
Repeat steps if you plan to add more screens.
