Wall screens and the notice board
Put a campus's rooms on a TV in the foyer, choose what students' names look like, and post notices to the screens.

Why this exists
Students arriving at a busy campus often do not know which room they are in, and the front desk ends up directing traffic. A wall screen shows what is on in every room right now, with each student's desk. Students find their own way, and notices can share news while they wait.
A wall screen shows what is on in every room at a campus right now, so students can find their room. It is a private link, not a login: open it on any TV, tablet or computer with a web browser.
Before you start
- Making screen links needs rooms.edit.
- Choosing how students' names appear needs settings.edit.
- Posting notices is for admins, marketing staff and receptionists.
Make a screen link
- Go to Scheduling > Floor plans and wall screens, choose the campus, and open Wall screens.
- Name the screen (for example "Foyer TV") and make the link.
- Copy the link straight away. For safety it is never shown again.
- Open the link on the screen's browser and leave it running. It refreshes itself.
To stop a screen, switch its link off. The screen says so the next time it refreshes. Replace link gives you a new one.
What the screen shows
- A card for each room: the tutor's first name, the subject and year group, the time left and what is next, and each desk with the student sitting there.
- Up next, and the useful places you marked to show on screens.
- Students as the centre chooses: first name and last initial (the default), first name only, or no names.
Nothing else about a student ever reaches the screen.
Notices
If the notice board is switched on for your centre, each screen can show Rooms only, Rooms and notices, Rooms, then notices or Notices only.
- Go to Scheduling > Wall screen notices and press New notice.
- Choose an announcement, a promotion (a picture, such as a Design Studio flyer saved as a picture), a timetable, or a picture or short silent video.
- Choose every campus or one, the date it shows from and, if you like, the date it stops.
- Press Post notice. Screens show it within a minute.
If the page says the notice board is not switched on yet, your screens show rooms only in the meantime.
