How to Show Web Page, Nest Camera, etc. on a Adaptive Module (Custom Slideshow Module) using Web Snapshot?


This article will walk you through connecting your Web Page, Nest Camera link, etc. with your Signera Adaptive Module (Custom Slideshow Module) via the "Web Snapshot" feature with the intention of showing your Web Page on your Signera sign without the need of manually updating or re-saving. Once you go through this article and get it setup correctly, the update function will happen automatically between your Web Page and Signera. You should not need to repeat these steps unless you make changes to your Web page link.

Step 1) Go to Adaptive Module (Custom Slideshow Module) where you want the Web Page to show. Click on the "Add Web Snapshot" button under the "Add Content to Adaptive Module (Custom Slideshow Module)" section.

Step 3) Go back into your newly created Web Snapshot slide (click on whatever name you selected in Step 2) under the section "Manage Existing Content in Adaptive Module (Custom Slideshow Module)"

Step 4) Scroll down to the box labeled "Web Snapshot Full Web URL (begin with http:// or https://)" and paste the link you copied in step 4 above.

Step 5) Click "Save/Preview" and confirm under the section "Web Snapshot Preview" you see your Web Page correctly.

Note: If you see your Web Page but cannot make out the picture (it's too small) you may wish to move your Web Snapshot slide to a Adaptive Module (Custom Slideshow Module) that is larger. The Web Snapshot feature will always fit within whatever side Adaptive Module (Custom Slideshow Module) it is in.

Optional Step 6) If you want your Web Snapshot to "automatically" update, then set the setting "Web Snapshot Update Frequency" to your desired setting.

Optional Step 7) If you want to just show part of your Web Page, you may wish to use the "Cropper" feature. Simply click "Open Cropper" under the "Web Snapshot Cropper" section.

Once the Web Page loads, use the Yellow Box to drag the portion of the web page you wish to keep. Everything outside of the Yellow Box will be discarded. Re-use the "Cropper" if you need to change the sizing.

Once you are done setting the Yellow Box, hit the "Save Crop" button to save your crop.

To remove the crop completely, go back into the "Open Cropper" page and click the "Remove Crop" at the bottom of the page.

When the Cropping Feature is NOT in use you will see the message "[Cropper Not Active]" in gray underneath the "Open Cropper" button.
