How to manage Displays

A display is one of your physical screens. Each one is registered with CrownTV and identified by an Id like 20005. From this page you can find a display, edit its settings, activate a new one, or export the full list.

Find a display

1. Sidebar → Displays → Management.
2. Use the Search… box (matches across all columns) or type into a column’s filter input:
   • Id — when you have the player ID handy.
   • Name — friendly name (e.g. Miami Store - SW Window).
   • Orientation — Landscape, Portrait, Reverse portrait.
   • Status — Activated or Deactivated.
   • Address / City / Country — by location.

Edit a display’s settings

Click the display Name (the link goes to /player/{id}/edit) or open the Action menu (right edge) and pick Edit Settings. From the edit page you can rename, change orientation, edit the address, change which groups it belongs to, etc.

Activate a new display

When CrownTV ships you a player, it appears in this list as Deactivated. Open the Action menu and pick Activate Display (computer icon) to walk through the activation flow.

Status meanings

• Activated (green) — the player is paired and ready to receive content.
• Deactivated (red) — the player exists in your account but is not paired (often because it’s a new device, was reset, or has lost its pairing).

Display Groups

Each row’s Name cell lists the Display Groups the display belongs to. Groups make scheduling easier — assign content to a group instead of each individual display. Manage groups under Displays → Groups (see 11-displays-groups/).

Export the full list

Click Export as CSV to download every row in the table as a CSV — handy for reconciling against your physical inventory or sharing with non-CrownTV teammates.

Tips

• Use a consistent naming convention (e.g. <Site> - <Location>) so the Name filter and CSV export are useful at a glance.
• If a display says Deactivated but is plugged in, check the player’s network connection and screen output before re-activating.
