DataSet

New to this? What the instructions mean

Click means select with your mouse (or tap on a touch screen). Row menu means the small actions menu beside an item in a list. Drop-down means a box you click to choose an option. Drag and drop means hold the mouse button on an item, move it, then release.

CMS is your online screen-control system. Display means a managed screen. Publish makes a layout ready to play. Schedule chooses the screens and times.

Some buttons depend on your version and permissions. If your screen looks different, ask your administrator or get help.

This is a detailed reference page. If you are just getting started, show your first image first.
