TV Dashboard - Slide Display
============================
SETUP
-----
1. Open the dashboard in a browser on the TV/display PC
2. Click the gear icon (top right) to open settings
3. Set the base path (default: S:\ProcessData\CommDisplay\ShopSS)
4. Optionally set a subfolder (e.g., Christmas2025)
5. Click "Apply & Start"
ADDING SLIDES
-------------
Due to browser security, the dashboard cannot list directory contents directly.
Use ONE of these methods:
METHOD 1: slides.txt file (RECOMMENDED)
- Create a file named "slides.txt" in your slides folder
- List each image filename on its own line
- Example:
001.jpg
002.jpg
003.jpg
company_logo.png
safety_message.jpg
METHOD 2: Numbered files
- Name your images with 3-digit numbers: 001.jpg, 002.jpg, 003.jpg, etc.
- The dashboard will automatically find them in order
METHOD 3: Slide1, Slide2, etc.
- Name files Slide1.jpg, Slide2.jpg, Slide3.jpg, etc.
- Common when exporting from PowerPoint
CREATING SUBFOLDERS
-------------------
To organize different presentations:
S:\ProcessData\CommDisplay\ShopSS\
├── slides.txt <- default slides
├── 001.jpg
├── 002.jpg
├── Christmas2025\
│ ├── slides.txt
│ ├── holiday_01.jpg
│ └── holiday_02.jpg
└── Safety\
├── slides.txt
└── safety_001.jpg
Then in settings, enter the subfolder name (e.g., "Christmas2025")
