Labels have their own pages

A label is how 1 playlist reaches the right 40 screens, but until now there was no page for the label itself. You put labels on screens from a screen’s Labels tab or from a selection on the Screens page, so answering “which screens are in Lobby, and what plays on them?” meant opening screens until you had the picture.

Labels now have a page of their own, in the sidebar between Screens and Playlists. It shows every label at a glance, with how many screens carry it and how many playlists it plays, and it’s also where you manage them: you can create, rename, and delete labels right there, without starting from a screen.

A page for each label

Open a label and it has 3 tabs:

• Screens lists the screens with the label. “Add screens” opens a searchable list of the screens that don’t have it yet, and you can remove any screen from the label.
• Playlists does the same for the playlists assigned to the label, so you can change what a whole group of screens plays from 1 place.
• Settings is where you rename or delete the label.

Deleting a label can’t take content off your screens by surprise. A label can be what keeps a playlist on dozens of screens, so before you confirm, the dialog tells you what deleting it will do: how many screens will stop playing how many playlists, or that nothing will change on any screen. Screens that also get those playlists through another label, or directly, aren’t counted, because they keep playing them.

All Screens is the only label you can’t rename, delete, or add screens to, since every screen has it automatically. You can still add playlists to it to play them everywhere.

Help for getting started with labels

The Labels page also helps anyone new to labels, so a team can start grouping screens without reading the docs first. “How labels work” explains the idea in a few lines: give screens that belong together a label, such as Lobby or Floor 2, add playlists to the label once, and every screen with it plays them, including screens you label later.

It also covers what trips people up later: a screen with several labels plays the playlists from all of them, All Screens is a label every screen has, and removing a label from a screen stops only the playlists it got through that label.
