The Main Navigation
The main navigation allows you to manage your content under different sections of the software. Depending on the type of content you are managing for your digital signage, you may only use a couple of the icons on the navigation.
Click on each section to learn more.
Players
This is where you add Player records, perform updates and check network status. This also where you can add player Groups, which allow you to build custom Groups and then perform a Player Action for that Group so that all players within that Group can be updated based on the Player Action performed at once.
Assets
This is where all of your Assets are stored and uploaded. This includes images, videos and fonts.
Playlists
This is where you can create Playlists or edit existing Playlists. You can also define unique Asset playback attributes within this option.
Layouts
This is where you design your Layouts using the Layout Designer, set the properties, and preview the menu.
Applications
This is where you can build touchscreen or other interactive applications based around designs you create in Photoshop or another design software.
Products
This is where your Product database resides. This is used if your application for Digital Signage is Digital Menu Boards, although some users make good use Products for other applications.

Events
This is used where displays are being used for Room Signage or Wayfinding where you want to summarize events that are going on in specific rooms or areas. An Event can be created with a Start Date/Time and an End Date/Time, details of the Event and custom images/logos attached to the Event.
Users
With appropriate access rights, you can add additional Users, define which Customers or Networks the User can access or make changes to existing Users.
Store
The EngagePHD Store offers a wide range of free and paid content, such as JPEG and PNG files, widgets, and pre-designed Layout templates.
Settings
Within the Network properties you define the default attributes of the Network. This is where you can also subscribe to automated email alerts, adjust event and product integration settings.
Quick Access Shortcuts
The quick access status bar shows various section of the software and their status. The ‘View All’ link under each section will take you to that section of the software.

Alcohol Action Enable/Disable
The Alcohol Action is a feature that allows Users to manually enable/disable or schedule alcohol based products from Digital Menu Board type Layouts on demand. This is especially useful during an event when the sale of alcohol ends, but you don’t know the exact time that will happen, e.g. at the bottom of the 7th inning in baseball where it is hard to predict a fixed time, so this function allows alcohol to be removed within seconds.

Player Licenses and Quick View
This section of the home dashboard provides a glance at active player license that have been assigned to Players, or not used and ready to be assigned. Clicking on ‘+ Add Player’ will allow you to assign an available license to one of your Players.
From the ‘Players’ section, you can flag favorite Players to show on your Home Dashboard.
