Content Item Manager Tour

After you log in to Skykit Beam and select your tenant, the Content menu opens by default. This is where you add and manage your content in Beam.

Navigation and Tools

Navigation Bar 

The navigation bar allows you to switch easily between the different menus in Beam.

• Content: Add and manage content items such as images, slideshows, videos, and web feeds.
• Programs: Organize content items in different layouts to show more than one content item on your displays at the same time.
• Playlists: Create a list of content items or programs and, if needed, assign date and time constraints to them (optional).
• Collections: Create a collection of content items, programs, and playlists and, if needed, assign date and time constraints to them.
• Displays: View a list of your displays, see what's currently playing on a display, change what's playing, and assign fallback content.
• Tasks: Immediately send commands to your displays. Currently, you can choose Change Media or Override Media.
• Label Manager: Create custom labels or "tags" to assign to your displays and playlist entries. Labels allow you to organize displays in groups and publish content to one or more displays at a time.
• Users: See all of the users who have access to your Beam tenant and set roles for each user.
• Help Site: Open the Skykit Help Center, where you can find help articles and answers to your questions.

Add Content

Select the +Content button to add new content items in Beam, such as images, web feeds, and dashboards.

Notifications

Select the bell icon in the upper right corner of the window to open the Notifications drawer. This lets you track the upload progress when you add an image, video, PDF, slideshow, or code bundle to Beam. If a content item is being uploaded or processed, the icon has a red dot next to it. Items remain in the Notifications drawer until you delete them; to do so, hover your mouse over the notification and select the X.

The Notifications drawer opens automatically when you upload a video file so you can track its progress more easily.

Select the Profile icon to change tenants or log out of Beam.

Help

Select the light bulb icon to open the Help Center drawer, which displays a help article relevant to the window that's currently open. See Using the Help Center for more information.
