Publishing with BrightSign Network
Publishing with BrightSign Network enables you to distribute your presentation to your BrightSign players using an
Internet connection.
BrightSign Network requires a subscription, so you must first contact BrightSign to obtain an account name, user name,
and password. Once your BrightSign players are set up with BrightSign Network (see Adding BrightSign units to your
BrightSign Network), you can upload your presentations to the BrightSign Network server, publish schedules, and
manage content. Your players will update their content automatically whenever they connect to the server.
Publishing with BrightSign Network sends presentations and schedules to groups instead of players. Groups can contain
any number of players, and you can move BrightSign players from one group to another at any point. See Managing your
Network for details. To publish with BrightSign Network, complete the following steps:
1. Sign into BrightSign Network by clicking Tools > Sign in to BrightSign Network.
2. Open the presentation you wish to publish by selecting File > Open presentation.
3. Click Upload to network (in the upper-right portion of the screen) to upload the presentation to the server.
4. Specify to which group you want to publish:
a. Click the Publish tab in the upper-left portion of the screen.
