Several settings need to be defined when creating a new project. Three project types are suggested: select "Digital Signage" to optimize the features of your future playlists.

Resolution

Your project format is fully customizable. A wide list of dimensions is available, sorted by resolution or device type; if needed, enter your desired dimensions by clicking the "Customize" button on the right.

Team

You can assign your project to a team. The "Team" feature manages project accessibility: it will only be visible and editable by members of the selected team.

Selecting the project team

Once these settings are defined, click the "Create project" button.

Your choices are not irreversible. They can be modified on the project page or in its settings.

Congratulations, your project has been created!

Touchify Studio has opened in a new window. The Playlist creation interface will allow you to integrate content and customize how your project works.

Enabling playlists in an interactive project

If, when creating your project, you chose the Interactive Display type, your presentation will automatically open on the Design tab. The Playlist tab is right next to it, in the top menu of the Studio.

Creating a playlist

An empty playlist is created by default. You can use it directly or create a new one. To create a new playlist, click the "Playlist" button at the top of the left sidebar. In the new Playlist panel, press the "Add a playlist" button.

Add a playlist button in the Playlists panel

Once your playlist is created, select from the left menu the type of content you want to add: image, video, document, page, weather... If you add a page, you can edit it in the Design tab. An "Open in Design" button is available for this purpose at the bottom of the workspace.

Configuration

Customize the display settings in the right panel: duration, destination page on interaction, transitions...

Configuration panels in the right sidebar

The right sidebar gives access to three different sections:

  • The Element Options section, to edit the selected playlist element
  • The Element Transition section, to adjust transition animations
  • The Playlist Options section, to customize the above settings globally

By default, the pages of your playlist play in list order. Reorder them using drag-and-drop, or enable shuffle mode in the playlist window on the right side of the interface, under the "Playlist Options" tab.

Playlist options with shuffle mode enabled
In shuffle mode, elements are displayed once per cycle. Their order changes randomly, but all elements must appear once before a new cycle starts.
To modify the global inactivity settings, go back to the playlists panel and click the "Inactivity Settings" button.
