1. Log in to your Actionfigure Portal account by visiting home.actionfigure.ai. From the homepage, select the playlist tab.

   

2. You should now see a screen displaying your blank content library and playlist. Before we are able to create a playlist, we’ll want to upload your slides and messages to your content library at the top of the screen. To do this, click on one of the add an image icons shown in the content library section.

   

3. You should now see a window allowing you to create a new piece of content for your playlist.

   1. You will now have the ability to upload an image or message directly from your computer using the blue button shown in the pop up window. Alternatively, you can directly link your content to a website by selecting the URL option. (Warning: Due to privacy and security protocols, not all websites will support this feature)
   2. Next, you’ll want to make an easy to recognize name for this piece of content. Keep it simple and easy to recognize, this name will help you more easily identify the content as your library continues to grow!
   3. Finally, click save and the content should appear in your content library.

   

4. Once you’ve added enough pieces of content, you’re ready to make your first playlist! Click the + button in the playlist section to add a playlist.

   1. NOTE: Once a playlist is created, you can select it from the drop down menu for easy access and editing.

   

5. Give your playlist a quick name and click create.

   

6. Drag and drop your content into your slides in the playlist section to build determine what will be displayed and the order it will be shown.

   1. Hint: The Transportation Information slide refers to your traditional public transit display (TransitScreen)

   

7. You can change how long each piece of content will be displayed by editing the time dropdown underneath each slide. In this case, we want to show our transit content for 30 seconds before rotating to our other two slides for 10 seconds each.

   1. Hint: if you don’t want your playlist to rotate and instead want it to end on the final slide, just toggle the loop playlist function.

1. Once you are done, click Save Playlist.

   1. Hint: There is no limit on the number of playlists you create and they can always be edited later.

2. Now it is time to activate this playlist so it displays on your screen. In the left sidebar click the Screen button.

   

3. In the content management section of the screen page, click Playlist from the list of options and then select the playlist we just made from the drop down menu.

   1. Hint: If you have multiple screens, use the blue folder icon in the top left to select the screen you want to edit

      

4. Once you have made these changes, you should see a red save icon appear in the top right corner of the screen. Click this to save the changes and publish your playlist to your screen!

   

5. You’re playlist is now up and running! To preview how things look, click the eye icon in the top right corner.

   1. Hint: Do to the customized nature of our screens, your public transit slide will likely appear distorted in the preview. No need to worry, everything should display correctly when shown on the live screen.
