Digital signs are meant to display status information for one or more services on a large digital signage display (e.g. a large wall mounted television in a lobby or network operations control center). Digital signs are best run in a browser that is operating in full screen or kiosk mode and are run completely unattended (they will automatically refresh and update as status information changes). Multiple digital signs may be created containing different services and customization settings to accommodate each customer's unique needs.
Digital signs can be created by navigating to Digital Signage > Sign List > Plus icon
