What is a Ditto template and how do I use it?

Templates are only available for Ditto Premium and Elite plans. Ditto Basic plans can be upgraded in the Billing section of your Ditto Account Portal. 

Ditto templates are pre-designed, customizable templates that allow you to easily create certain types of digital signage content. Templates are customizable so you can display beautiful signage content without the need for a graphic designer. Find and customize all templates inside the Ditto Account Portal.

Tip:
Digital signage templates allow for creating and customizing digital signage content. When a template has been customized and created, a digital signage item will be created and added to the signage list.

Note:
Before you begin using templates, you must create a list for your digital signage. Learn how to create your first Ditto digital signage list here.

Static Web URL

The Static Web URL allows you to display content from a specific URL as an item in your digital signage list.

Note:
For the best user experience, we recommend using URLs to display content that are internally controlled URLs such as internal charts, intranets, and your company website. 

Adding a URL for video platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, and others will not play the video in your signage. It would only show a still image of the webpage. Instead, you can upload media files using the media signage item to display videos as signage.

Some external links can be helpful such as publicly accessible stock data, traffic cams, weather forecasts, and more.
