# The display record: six tabs at a glance

A click on a tile in the fleet opens a display’s record. To find which card is on which tab, look up the tab instead of searching the page.

> **Type:** reference
> **For:** anyone who looks after a single display and wants to know where a detail is
> **Prerequisite:** an account in your organization. Assigning and commands need the Manager or Owner role, and removing needs the Owner role.
> **Where in the portal:** **Displays** › display

## The head of the record

Above the tabs is the name of the display. The line below it names the device the display is attached to, with its name, for example **Player 7AA9**, plus place, format, and connector as far as they are known. Next to the name are four details: the **Visibility** of the display, the status dot with the status word, a symbol for the connection type whose tooltip reads **Own device** or **Web display**, and, if the display belongs to a video wall, the **Video wall: …** badge, which links to it. What visibility and status mean is explained in [Read status](/docs/displays/read-status).

Two buttons are on the right:

| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Assign program** | jumps to the **Playback** tab and opens the selection right there |
| **Screenshot** | triggers the capture and jumps to the **Remote** tab, where the picture arrives. It appears only if the device supports screenshots. |

A **Restart** is deliberately not in the header: It affects the machine and with it every panel on it. What concerns the whole device is in the device record — the **Device** tab leads there.

If there is a fault, warning bands in plain language appear below, for example **Device offline**, **Weak Wi-Fi signal**, or **No cable**. Each band immediately names the most likely cause. The complete list is under [Read status](/docs/displays/read-status).

## The six tabs

| Tab | What is there |
|---|---|
| **Overview** | the status at a glance: what is running now, how the device is doing, how it is connected, what happened last |
| **Playback** | the program control center: assignment, override, and the playback timeline |
| **Screen** | everything that concerns the panel on the wall: panel, switching on and off, capabilities, picture settings |
| **Device** | the machine behind it, its displays, and for a web display the display address |
| **Remote** | commands to this display, orders in progress, the latest screenshot, and the history |
| **Settings** | master data, assignment, tags, and the **Remove display** card |

The active tab is in the address bar. A link to a particular tab therefore stays shareable, and the back button undoes the switch.

### Overview

| Card | Content |
|---|---|
| Status line | **State of the display** with visibility, status word, and **Running for …** |
| **Now playing** | the running content as **Scene** or **Playlist** with a link, the line **From program** (program name or **Assigned directly**), **Runs until**, and **Afterwards**. At the top are the **Override** badge, if one is running, and **Picture from the device · …** above the preview. |
| **Status** | **Visibility**, **Temperature**, **Load**, **Memory**, **Free storage**, **Running for**, **Throttling**. What the device does not measure has no row. |
| **Connection** | **Wi-Fi** (signal bars and dBm value), **Network**, **Response time**, **Realtime channel**, **IP address**, **Last reported** |
| **Recently on this surface** | an excerpt of the operations log with a link to the whole log on the device |

If nothing is assigned, the card says **Nothing assigned — the device shows the placeholder screen.**, and with a planned pause **Broadcast pause — deliberately nothing is playing.** How to read both is explained in [Check what a display is showing](/docs/displays/check-now-playing).

### Playback

Three areas from top to bottom: the **Program** card with the assignment, the **Show something else now** card for the manual intervention, and the **Playback timeline** as the result of both. Assigning is described in [Assign a program to a display](/docs/displays/assign-program).

### Panel

The **Screen** card names **Reported resolution**, **Format**, **Orientation**, **Permitted resolution**, **Device**, **Connector**, and **Serial number**. Below are **Turn the screen on and off** with the reported status, **What this display can do**, and **Picture settings**. If the display has not reported anything about its surface yet, it says **No screen data yet**.

### Device

At the top is **The device behind it** with the name of the device in the header, **Connector of this display**, **The machine**, **How it is doing**, **Known since**, and the **Open device record** button. Below, **Displays on this device** lists every display of the machine with connector and cable status. A click jumps to the sibling display. For a web display, **Display address** follows, **Connection and lifecycle** with **Create a new address** for the move to another browser, **What a web display cannot do**, and **Delete web display**. If the display software runs in a host app such as the Fire TV app, **The device behind it** additionally names the **Host** with the name and version of the app, and the **What a web display cannot do** card is omitted. It describes a browser tab, and an app can do more depending on the platform. What is missing on the display is named by the **What this display can do** card with the reason **Not available on this platform**. The remote maintenance of the device record offers the restart only where the app can do it. On a player with SzeneraOS, **The device behind it** names the version of **SzeneraOS** with its channel.

### Remote

Four blocks: the commands, **Orders in progress**, **Latest screenshot** next to the log excerpt, and **Recent commands**. The details are under [Remote maintenance](/docs/displays/remote-maintenance).

### Settings

Four cards one below the other:

- **Master data** with **Name**, **Description**, the **Location** selection, and **Save**
- **Location** with the determined position and **Correct location**
- **Tags** for creating and assigning tags
- **Remove display** with the **Remove display …** button, see [Remove a display](/docs/displays/remove-display)

The **Location** selection in the master data and the **Location** card below it are two different things: The selection binds the display to a [created place](/docs/displays/create-locations), and the card shows the position that the device itself has determined.

## Channel and system image are in the device record

Which system image a machine runs and which channel it comes from is kept not by the display record but by the **System & runtime** card of the [device record](/docs/devices/device-record). Two rows there carry lists of values of their own.

| Row | Possible values |
|---|---|
| **SzeneraOS**, the channel next to the version | **Stable**, **Beta**, **Preview**, **Deprecated**, **Retired** |
| **System image** | **downloading**, **installing**, **trial boot**, **rolled back**, **failed** |

The **System image** row appears only while a switch is running or has failed. If it is at rest (**unchanged**) or has gone through cleanly (**changed**), the row does not appear.
