Publish an Event-Driven Dashboard Layout

Goal #

Create an event trigger and publish a layout when an incident or external event occurs.

When to Use This #

Use this guide when content should appear because something happened, such as:

• machine stopped
• quality issue detected
• emergency notice
• supervisor intervention
• Or even operator motivation

Step 1: Create the Event Layout #

1. Create the layout that should appear during the event.
2. Save it.

When building the event layout:

• design for a 16:9 landscape screen
• keep the content readable at a glance

Step 2: Create the Event Trigger #

1. Open Campaigns -> Event Triggers.
2. Click Create Event Trigger.
3. Enter the trigger name.
4. Enter the event key.
5. Select the layout.
6. Choose the delivery mode.
7. Set duration, priority, and status.

Step 3: Choose the Audience #

Choose one audience mode:

• event_prodline
• all_devices
• selected_devices

For production-line-specific incidents, use event_prodline.

Step 4: Activate the Trigger #

Save the trigger and set it to active.

Step 5: Test with Manual Publish #

1. Open Campaigns -> Publish Event.
2. Select the active event trigger.
3. Select the production line if needed.
4. Fill the Subject ID and Subject Name
5. Enter the runtime payload values in the preview.
6. Click Publish Event.

Step 6: Verify Device Behavior #

Check that:

• the event layout appears on the correct TVs
• fullscreen events replace normal playback temporarily
• overlay events appear above normal playback
• playback returns to normal after the event finishes

Step 7: Connect External Publishing Later #

After the manual test works, your backend or automation can publish the same event by using:

• the same event key
• the same layout-driven payload structure
• the proper auth token
