How to set up Digital Door Plates

Set up a digital door plate on a Joan device in one of two ways: with custom content in MyJoan, or by showing a page from the Joan CMS through a URL:

1. Custom Content (via MyJoan): Best for static info or simple status updates.
2. Joan CMS via URL: Best for dynamic, branded, or third-party content.

1. Log in to MyJoan with your admin account
2. Navigate to the “Settings” page via the top navigation menu
3. Select "Rooms" - > “Custom content” from the left-hand side menu
4. A list of all your custom content interfaces will appear. If you do not have added any so far, click the “add custom content” button

5. 5. Create a new custom content for Digital Door Signage

Next, navigate to the “Set custom content schedule” section and click “Change”

1. Select either “Always show custom content” or set a specific time for when you wish to display this custom content
2. Selecting “Show custom content at a specific time” will allow you to set the start and end date and time and if the content should repeat or be a one-time event

Next, name your custom content interface under “Slideshow title” section

1. Enter the name of your new custom content interface

Finally, click “Save” to finish creating your custom content interface

And that’s it! You have successfully created a digital door plate custom content interface.
