Once you add INFOSPACE to your subscription, you will be able to create different and unique digital displays that you can then use in your TV monitors, iPads, tablets or other devices around the building in order to advertise events, help guests find the location of events or even allow others to schedule last-minute events in spaces!
- See a summarized comparison chart of the most used features for each of the 5 options at the bottom!
With any of the digital signage options, you have the following capabilities:
- Upload a custom background for any of the displays which can be a video or a static image
- Choose from the main Details tab of an event in Event Scheduler to "hide" the event from all digital signage displays for privacy/security reasons.
- Set a space "override" on the event on the main Details tab in Event Scheduler and choose which space name displays for that event on the digital display
- All display options will display the events in order of their start time.
With INFOSPACE you have 5 different options for display types:
- Slides
- List
- Announcement
- Room Signage
- Room Scheduler

The slide option allows you to display one event at a time. The screen will change and rotate through all of the events for the chosen time period.

Slides Option example
Room Signage Option
This option allows you to have individual screen displays installed outside of different spaces in the building, so that the displays can show/advertise events that are only in that space.
- Because this display type is designed for a device advertising events for just one space, that's why this display option doesn't allow you to select multiple spaces.
- This option is also designed to show the events of the day, not the future.
- You can choose to show the date and time, just the date, just the time or neither
- You can choose a font style, text color, and spacing around the text

- If you choose to allow the option for people to create last-minute event requests on this signage display then keep in mind that all events created from the display naturally bypass the "Pre-Aprpoval" layer, if that layer is enabled on your account under Settings/Advanced/General/Event Creation and instead the event will go straight to the regular approval layer.

Room Signage Scheduler Option
This option is for churches that have individual touchscreen displays installed outside of different spaces in the building, so that the displays can show events that are only in that space AND allow people in the building to schedule last-minute events in that space.
*It’s important that this display option be used on a touchscreen device, because it is intended for people to be able to schedule last-minute events in the building.*
*Since you can only schedule a last min event on the display, people should use the Public Event Request Forms or their eSPACE account to schedule an event in the future.*
*If you do not want everyone in the building adding events on the touchscreen, you can set up a password that is only given to staff members that will allow them access to create events this way.*
*Any event created on a digital signage display will bypass the "Pre-Approval" layer if your account has "Pre-Approval" enabled under Settings/Advanced/General/Event Creation and go straight to the regular approval layer.
- This option is also designed to show the events of the day, not the future.
