Publishing & assignment
Publishing makes a slide live; assignment decides what each screen plays. VitVue resolves a clear priority order so a screen always knows what to show.
Ways to assign content
- Manual slide — pin a single slide to a screen.
- Playlist — assign a playlist; the screen cycles through it and respects each item's schedule.
- Urgent override — push a slide that temporarily jumps ahead of everything else, then expires on its own.
- Group default — a fallback playlist for a whole group, used when nothing more specific is set.
Resolution order
When several of these apply at once, the screen picks the highest-priority one, top to bottom:
- 1Urgent overrideA slide pushed to interrupt — plays until its timer expires.
- 2Manual slideA single slide assigned directly to the screen.
- 3PlaylistThe playlist assigned to the screen.
- 4Group playlistA playlist assigned to the screen's group.
- 5Group defaultThe group's fallback playlist.
- 6IdleNothing assigned — the screen shows "System Ready".
How fast it goes live
When you publish, VitVue broadcasts the change to your screens in real time, so updates appear within seconds. As a safety net, players also poll for changes and keep a local copy of their content.
Offline-resilient
If a screen loses its connection, it keeps playing the last content it downloaded. When it reconnects, it catches up to the latest published version automatically. More in Troubleshooting.
Until a screen has any content, it displays System Ready — assign a slide or playlist to bring it to life.
