How to set up Digital Door Plates

In a modern workplace, a door plate is more than just a name tag. Whether you are managing a corporate office, a medical facility, or a co-working space, digital door signage provides real-time clarity on who is in the office and where they are

This article will guide you through the two primary ways to set up Digital Door Plates using Joan:

  1. Custom Content (via MyJoan): Best for static info or simple status updates.

  2. Joan CMS via URL: Best for dynamic, branded, or third-party content.

 

Creating Digital Door Signage through custom content

  1. Log in to MyJoan with your admin account
  2. Navigate to the “Settings” page via the top navigation menu
  3. Select "Rooms" - > “Custom content” from the left-hand side menu
  4. A list of all your custom content interfaces will appear. If you do not have added any so far, click the “add custom content” button

Next, navigate to the “Set custom content schedule” section and click “Change”

  1. Select either “Always show custom content” or set a specific time for when you wish to display this custom content
  2. Selecting “Show custom content at a specific time” will allow you to set the start and end date and time and if the content should repeat or be a one-time event
