LumiText™ Configurator

Overview

LumiText signs have the ability to display user-configured messages as well as other information such as temperature, date and time, and more.

EverbriteCONNECT introduces new scheduling features allowing you to configure playlists and easily view and manage those playlists in a user-friendly interface

The Playlist Configurator provides the ability to group individual messages (“frames”) on your LumiText™ Electronic Message Center into playlists for easy scheduling.

For new signs, by default there will be no playlists scheduled and the LumiText sign will be blank until one is configured.

Playlists Viewer

The Playlists Viewer displays a calendar view of which playlist(s) play on different dates, as well as a list of your current playlist library and the ability to create new playlists.

Playlist Calendar

Displays a calendar view of any playlist(s) configured.

Any configured playlists for the dates visible will be displayed. Dates with a configured playlist will show the name of the playlist, color coded to the color shown in the Playlist Library. Dates with a GreyDotIcon will play a Default Playlist if no other playlist is configured. If no playlist or Default Playlist is configured, the date will show no icon and the sign will be blank.



Playlist Library

The Playlist Library shows all currently configured playlists. If you have several playlists you may need to scroll down.
