A Guide to Digital Signage

The StoriiCare Digital Signage App turns any smart TV or television with an HDMI socket into a powerful digital display for your Calendar. Each organisation can create multiple customised calendar displays for different purposes — for example, one tailored for a reception area and another for participants.

Using an Amazon Fire TV Stick? Not every model is compatible. Check Which Fire TV Sticks Are Compatible? below before you start.

• Open the Calendar feature and click the settings wheel icon to access Calendar Settings

• Select the Digital Signage tab to access your calendar links

By clicking on the pencil icon next to your Digital Signage link, you can configure the following elements (click on +More options to view all):

General

• Name — update the display name for this digital signage calendar

• Filters — use the dropdowns to create links for specific individuals (resident rooms) or locations (programs that take place in a specific room/site)

• Navigation — allow or restrict the ability to rotate between views

Display

• Custom Color— select a color to match your organization's branding using a hex code

• Views — choose which views are available (Month, Week, Day, and/or Images Only)

• Circulate between views — set the calendar to automatically cycle between views

• Scroll Speed — determine the pace of circulation between views

• Font Size — determine how small or large the font appears on the screen

• Custom Logo & Size — display your organization's logo on the signage for consistent branding

• Custom Text — add a personalized welcome message to the screen

• Live Weather Feed — show real-time local weather with a Celsius/Fahrenheit Temperature toggle

• Orientation — choose between portrait and landscape display modes

• Time — toggle on to display the current time on the digital signage screen

• Custom Media Albums — select specific media folders to display images on the signage. By default, this will be the Public Calendar folder in the Media tab.

Once configured, click Save.

Calendar links can be turned on and off at any time.

• Toggle the switch next to the calendar name to enable or disable it

• To preview how the display will appear, click the documents icon next to the digital signage link to copy it to your clipboard

• Paste the link into a new browser tab to view the calendar as it will appear on screen

The StoriiCare Digital Signage App runs on Fire TV devices that use Amazon's Fire OS. Amazon's newest Fire TV Sticks use a different operating system called Vega OS, and the app is not available on them. Please check your model before you start.

How to check which model you have

1. Press the Menu button (☰) on your remote and open Settings.

2. Select My Fire TV (on some models this is called Device & Software).

3. Select About. Your device name appears at the top. If the name includes "Select," or the software version says "Vega OS," the app will not install. Contact our support team and we will help you get a compatible device.

Buying a new Fire TV Stick? Look for Fire TV Stick 4K Max in the product name.

• Plug the Amazon Fire TV Stick into an HDMI port on your TV or monitor. If you are using a smart TV with Fire TV built in, skip this step.

• Make sure your TV or monitor is set to the correct input source (for example, HDMI 1 or HDMI 2).

• Update your Fire TV Stick first: Press the Menu button (☰) on your remote, go to Settings > My Fire TV > About > Check for Updates, install any update, then restart.

• Download the app: Select Search (the magnifying glass at the top of the home screen) and type StoriiCare, or press Menu and open the Appstore. Select StoriiCare Digital Signage and choose Get or Download. On other smart TVs, download it from the Google Play Store. If the app does not appear, your Fire TV Stick is most likely a model that is not compatible. See Which Fire TV Sticks Are Compatible? above.

• Find the app: On the new Fire TV home screen, installed apps appear in a single row below the large banner at the top. You can also open it from Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications.

• Turn off interruptions: Go to Settings > Preferences and turn both Data Usage Monitoring and Still Watching to Off. This stops the app from being interrupted by the Fire TV's inactivity settings.

• In StoriiCare, go to Calendar Settings and click the TV icon next to the calendar you wish to display to retrieve your calendar code.

• Enter the code into the StoriiCare Digital Signage App

• Your StoriiCare Calendar will now load and display on the screen — no further action is required

Digital Signage links can also be used to embed Calendars on your own website. To learn how to do this, please visit our Calendar website implementation Guide.

If you see an address bar at the top of your Digital Signage display (showing the calendar web address, for example calendar.storii.com), follow these steps:

1. Close the bar: Using your Fire TV remote, highlight the X in the top left corner of the screen and press the select button. The bar will disappear and your calendar will fill the screen.

2. Make sure your Fire TV Stick is fully updated: Press the Menu button (☰) on your remote, then go to Settings > My Fire TV > About > Check for Updates. If an update is available, install it and restart the device.

3. Update your browser app: Press Menu, open the Appstore, and install any available updates, including for your browser app.

4. Clear the app data: Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications > StoriiCare Digital Signage > Clear data. Then open the app again and re-enter your calendar code.

If the bar still comes back after all four steps, please contact our support team.

Images displayed on the Day or Images Only View are sourced from the Public Calendar folder in the Media tab by default. However, users can select which Media album a digital signage calendar pulls from in the Digital Signage link's settings.

• From the Dashboard, navigate to Media and open the Public Calendar (or whichever album is set for the Digital Signage link) folder

• Upload images to this folder — they will appear in a slideshow

• Remove images from the folder to stop them from displaying

You can’t set a Digital Signage display to rotate between separate calendars by selecting several of them. However, you can show everything combined on one display: when creating or editing your Digital Signage link, choose All Activities, All Events or All Calendars, and your activities and events from every calendar will appear together.

If you need a separate display for each calendar instead (for example, one for reception and one for a program room), create a separate Digital Signage link for each.
