Grid component: revolutionize your digital signage

April 26, 2023

Discover the new Grid component that transforms the management and display of your dynamic content. This new tool from Disign allows you to present your elements in a more efficient and attractive way.

Introduction to the Grid component

The Grid component is designed to enhance the efficiency of your digital displays. With this feature, you can now display your content in a grid format, rather than just a simple slideshow. This lets you optimize your screen usage and diversify the presentation of your information.

For a concrete example: the REA agency wants to display its 100 real estate listings in a dynamic display campaign. Instead of showing them one by one, they prefer to group them in sets of four. With the Grid component, they can create a 2x2 grid to show four listings simultaneously, then switch to a 2x1 grid to display two listings, and so on.

Flexibility in data management

One of the major strengths of the Grid component is its ability to manage data intelligently. You can choose which elements should capture data and which should remain static. For example, the REA real estate agency can display a 2x2 grid with four listings, followed by another grid containing two promotional images and two listings. The Grid component ensures that the listings are shown in the correct order (1, 2, 3, 4, then 5, 6), despite the inclusion of promotional images.

Why choose the Grid component?

The Grid component for digital signage offers a wide range of features:

  • Creation of classic grids (2x2, 3x1, etc.)
  • Design of unstructured grids for more creativity
  • Management of multiple grids (like a playlist of grids)
  • Intelligent data management, with the ability to intersperse static elements
  • Smooth transitions between each grid
  • Customizable animations per element with animation intervals
  • Control of spacing for optimal visual rendering

With these features, the Grid component proves to be a powerful tool for any digital signage professional. For a complete presentation of these features and numerous use cases, consult the documentation for our digital signage CMS, Disign. Feel free to share your feedback to help us improve Disign.
