HR DIGITAL SIGNAGE/CAROUSEL SOP

Contact Heather Dutcher (Digital Sign Administrator) and she will list you as the

administrator so you may access the digital signage site

Ask Heather Dutcher to invite you to use Canva as well- it is a site with multiple

templates

Login for Carousel: http://signage.uwlax.edu/Frontdoor/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=

%2fFrontDoor%2f

Use UCOMM (University Communications) website for reference

https://www.uwlax.edu/ucomm/our-services/digital-signs/

Use the Digital Sign Submission form to submit your sign request to both Academic

Buildings and University Centers (Union/Whitney). Your event must be in the Campus

Calendar or My Orgs before it will be approved.

If using PowerPoint to create your slide use 20" wide x 11.25" high page setup to scale

your slide to fit the wide format of the monitors with enough resolution (this setting can

be done in the design tab under slide size and by clicking custom slide size). Save your

slide as a JPG or PNG. If using another design editor to create your slide use the 20" x

11.25" dimensions or 1920 x 1080 pixels and saved as a JPG or PNG file. Individuals who

would like access to UWL branded templates in Canva.com (not to be confused with

Canvas) should contact the digital sign administrator.

Click on bulletins

the slide to run

Here you have more settings to choose from

When you have finished with settings click on the Orange Publish tab

Your sign should now appear in the Active tab on the Carousel dashboard

In the settings before you publish a slide you can designate how long it should run or

you can manually go to the dashboard to delete

Each slide will have options on the bottom, if you want to delete/edit/copy
