Use Case

The notice board people actually read

Replace the pinboard with screens you update from your desk: publish notices to one building or fifty, set them to expire on time, and run a scrolling announcement over whatever is already playing.

A digital notice board is a screen that replaces the cork pinboard: notices, schedules and announcements are published from a central dashboard and appear on every connected display within seconds, and expire on time instead of yellowing on the wall.

How it works

Setting up digital notice boards with Digisigns

  1. 1

    Turn any TV into a notice board

    Install the free player on the screens you already have, Android, Windows, Tizen, webOS and more, and pair each with its on-screen code.

  2. 2

    Build a notices playlist

    Drag in posters, PDFs, images and videos. The media library takes PDFs and spreadsheets directly and renders them page by page.

  3. 3

    Set each notice's dates

    Every playlist item carries its own visibility rule, once, daily, weekly, monthly or custom weekdays, so notices appear and expire on schedule.

  4. 4

    Add the urgent layer

    Push a scrolling Announcement marquee over the playing content for anything that can't wait for the next loop.

Features that matter here

What makes Digisigns good at digital notice boards

Instant announcements

A scrolling marquee overlay, fonts, colours and speed configurable, runs over playlists, layouts or web pages and lands on screens via instant push.

Per-notice scheduling

Each item in a playlist has its own recurrence and date rules, so the exam timetable disappears after the exam without anyone remembering to remove it.

Posters and PDFs as-is

Upload the PDF or poster you already made, no re-design needed. Images, videos, PDFs and spreadsheets all play natively.

Approval before it goes up

A moderation and approval queue means staff can submit content while an admin keeps final say over what appears in public.

Every site from one dashboard

Nested screen groups and tags let you publish to one lobby, one campus or the entire estate in a single action.

From pinboard to publish button

A cork board fails quietly: notices go up late, come down never, and only exist in one corridor. A digital notice board moves the whole workflow to a dashboard, upload the poster or PDF you already made, choose which screens show it, and set the dates it should live. Playlists loop the routine content; per-item visibility rules retire each notice on time. Publishing to a second building costs one click, not a print run.

Screens run the free player on eight platforms, so the TVs already mounted in your corridors, staff rooms and lobbies are usually enough to start.

The urgent layer

Some notices can’t wait for their turn in the loop. The Announcement marquee scrolls a message over whatever is playing, a closure, a schedule change, a safety notice, and reaches screens by instant push. For everything else, governance matters more than speed: an approval queue and role-based permissions let departments submit content while communications keeps final say. Notice boards sit naturally beside internal communications screens, lobby welcome screens and TV dashboards, one platform for all of them, detailed on the features page.

Digital Notice Boards FAQs

What do I need to set up a digital notice board?
A screen, an internet connection and a Digisigns account. The free player installs on Android, Windows, Linux, macOS, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, NovaStar and ChromeOS, or runs in a browser, and pairs to your dashboard with a short code.
Can notices expire automatically?
Yes. Every playlist item carries its own visibility schedule, once, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or custom weekdays, so time-bound notices remove themselves when their window ends.
Can staff submit notices without publishing rights?
Yes. Role-based permissions let team members upload content while publishing stays restricted, and a media approval queue with an automated moderation report gives an admin final review before anything airs.
Can I show an urgent announcement immediately?
Yes. The Announcement marquee scrolls over whatever is currently playing and is delivered by instant cloud push, so an urgent line reaches every screen in seconds without rebuilding the playlist.
