Tips & Common Issues

  • Not sure? Announcement is the safe default for any short message.
  • Templates are just presets — change colors, fonts, and images anytime. A starting point, not a cage.
  • Stack multiple tiles of one type — say five Announcements, each on its own playlist for morning, afternoon, and after-hours.
