Resolution

When adding digital signage to your department, there are several layers of ongoing operational responsibilities:

  • Financial support contact
    • This person should be the authorized signer for the shortcode that signage is billed to
    • Responsible for providing us with the appropriate shortcode
    • We will contact this user with any financial updates
  • Content manager
    • Each department must assign a staff member the role of content manager
      • Content managers are responsible for ensuring that no sensitive or protected data is included in signage content.
      • Creating, curating, and coordinating content for the sign to display
    • We recommend assigning and training at least one back up content manager to cover vacations etc.
  • IT support content
    • This person is the point of contact for the ITS-Digital Signage team when an issue is reported
    • This person should be comfortable checking basic issues, including power and cable connections
      • Is the Signage player on?
      • Is the TV on? Is it on the right input?
      • Are all cables plugged in?
      • Reporting to the signage team any error messages displayed on the sign
