Setup your site & register screens

In Smartsign, each display is called a screen. In order for a screen to display content, you must first register it in a Smartsign site.

How do i register my screens?

1. Note the registration code showing on your displays
2. Sign in, or sign up, to Smartsign (and set up your site if necessary)
3. Register the screen by entering the registration code

1. Note the 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.

tip

If someone is helping you mount and install the physical displays, make sure to share the link to Install & configure displays with them.

2. Sign in to Smartsign Display Manager (and set up your site)

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. If you don’t have a Smartsign account, just click sign up to create one.

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.

Setting up or accessing a site

If you don't have access to a Smartsign site, you will be asked to set up a new site when you have claimed your licenses and signed in to Smartsign. A site is Smartsign's way of organizing screens, users, content and other things. You will be asked to name your site and add your company logo and brand colors for use in screen layouts. (You can always change this later).

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.

3. Register the screen(s)

When signed in to Smartsign, go to My Devices, click Register screen and follow the instructions. When you are done, you can publish your first message! If you have multiple sites, choose the site where you want to register your screens in the site selection drop-down that will appear in the top right corner.

Notes on registering screens

Step 1 - Registration code. If you don't have a registration code, have a look at Install & configure displays.

Step 2 - Choose timezone. Double check that your screens are actually in the preset time zone. (We try our best to match the timezone preset to your location)

Step 3 - Select a screen layout. If you want to display different content simultaneously, a PRO license allows use of layouts with multiple layers. Learn more about layouts.

Step 4 - Naming your screen. Location based names are often more useful for publishers than display model names. For example, “Floor 1 - Entrance” is probably a better screen name than “DSP4250T”.
