# What Is Joan Workplace Digital Signage
## Joan Workplace Digital Signage is a hybrid Content Management System (CMS) for managing signage content on Joan e-paper and LCD displays.
### Technical requirements
- Stable internet connectivity
- Enabled access to the CMS
- To gain access please enable digital signage solution in the Joan portal, and wait for the email confirmation to receive your personal tenant URL and login credentials
- Any supported display device, also known as a **Player,** to display content.
### Supported displays
- Joan e-paper displays: Supported natively.
- Digital signage and other LCD displays: Supported via software apps or external players.
### How to connect the CMS to your display
- Sign in to the CMS using your tenant URL and login credentials.
- On your first visit you will need to complete your user profile.
The pairing process varies depending on your display type
Note: Displays are referred to as *Players* within the CMS.
- **Joan e-paper displays**: Configure the network via [Joan configurator app](https://support.getjoan.com/knowledge/how-to-configure-joan-devices?hsLang=en), and make sure to enter ***cms-1.dk.visionect.com*** for server. Then wait for the PIN, and register it in the CMS.
- **LG and Samsung digital signage displays**: Please follow instructions for [LG](https://support.getjoan.com/knowledge/lg-digital-signage-displays-with-webos?hsLang=en) and [Samsung](https://support.getjoan.com/knowledge/samsung-digital-signage-displays-tizen-os?hsLang=en).
- **Any other display**: Please follow the [instructions](https://support.getjoan.com/migration/knowledge/setting-up-joan-cms-digital-signage-player?hsLang=en) to install our player OS on a compatible device.
Note: After pairing a Joan device, it is mandatory to assign it to a player group. This will cause the playlist to assign the e-paper specific features to any playlist linked to this group.
### Working with content
First, you organize your content into playlists and then schedule those playlists to players. Playlists consist of pages that you can create with the built-in graphics editor, start from templates, upload your own files, or combine all of these options. Pages have defined durations. When a playlist is done it needs to be published to be available for scheduling.
Please refer to [this article](https://support.getjoan.com/migrated/knowledge/supported-media-joan-workplace-digital-signage?hsLang=en) for supported media formats. All media is saved in a media library with virtually unlimited storage.
A playlist can be scheduled to a player with many flexible timing, recurrence and other rules. Zone layouts can be used to combine multiple playlists on one screen if needed (LCD only). Once a playlist is scheduled it will sync to its players and start playing.
### Everything in one platform
Joan WDS is a flexible, hybrid CMS that supports both Joan e-paper displays and most LCD screens. While it automatically handles the added complexity in the background, it also provides dedicated controls when needed. For example, a playlist will switch to e-paper mode as soon as it’s assigned to a player group with Joan displays, but you can also enable this manually at any time in the playlist settings.
Additionally, Joan WDS includes premium CMS capabilities such as role-based security, unlimited users, players, and media storage, comprehensive auditing and proof-of-play reporting, and extensive integration options.
