Getting Started with Twinnoverse Admin

This page gives you the quickest way to understand how the current Twinnoverse product works before you build your first TV dashboard.

---

1. Create Your Account #

1. Open your Twinnoverse Admin Portal URL.
2. Click Create account.
3. Enter:
   • your work email
   • your password
4. Complete sign-up.
5. Sign in.

In the current product flow, the account sign-up screen uses email and password only.

---

2. Complete Organization Setup #

After sign-in, Twinnoverse checks whether your account already belongs to an organization.

If your account does not belong to one yet:

1. Twinnoverse opens the organization setup step.
2. Enter your organization name.
3. Create the organization.
4. Continue into the admin portal.

This is the current first-time onboarding path in the product.

3. Understand the Main Product Areas #

After onboarding, the main areas are:

• Home for the operational overview
• Data Sources for REST API, WebSocket, Ingest, and Manual data
• Layouts for dashboard design
• Playlists for screen playback order and duration
• Campaigns for scheduled and event-driven delivery
• Devices for claiming TVs and assigning playback
• Manual KPI for operator-entered runtime values

These areas work together:

• data sources provide the values
• layouts define the screen design
• playlists define normal playback
• devices show the result on real TVs
• campaigns and event triggers interrupt normal playback when needed

---

4. Choose the Right Starting Path #

Choose the path that matches your current situation:

Live Data Already Exists #

Use this if you already have a backend, API, or streaming source.

• use REST API, WebSocket, or Ingest
• then follow How to Create a TV Dashboard and Deploy It Live

No API Yet #

Use this if you want to go live without building backend integration first.

• use a Manual data source
• then follow Build a Manual KPI Dashboard

Planned Time-Based Interruption #

Use this for scheduled content such as lunch notices, meetings, or recurring announcements.

• use Scheduled Campaigns
• then follow Create a Scheduled Campaign

Incident or Event-Based Interruption #

Use this when content should appear only when something happens.

• use Event Triggers
• then follow Publish an Event-Driven Layout

---

5. Recommended First Setup Order #

For most teams, this is the best setup order:

1. create your account
2. create your organization
3. create your first data source
4. create your first layout
5. create your first playlist
6. install and open the reader on the TV
7. claim the device from the Devices page by entering the claim code shown on the TV
8. assign the playlist to the claimed device
9. verify playback on the screen

This order matches the real product flow better than trying to start with the TV first.

6. Important Product Notes #

• the layout editor is designed for a 16:9 landscape screen
• a playlist is usually required for normal playback, even if you only have one layout
• the TV generates the claim code, and the admin user enters that claim code in the portal
• manual KPI and manual event publishing are different features
• event-driven and scheduled interruptions sit on top of the normal playlist baseline
