[sims] Cover sheet put on digital display (xibo)

[titch]

Hi All

 

We have a digital display in our staff room. I would like to put up cover lists daily for people to view. Preferably this would be automatic. No idea where to start but any input would be great.

 

Thanks!

you can export the cover to a webpage in the cover module.

 

so if you had the screen just load the webpage on startup it would work, then you'd need it to force refresh every so often.

Is there anyway to automate the export of the webpage?

[bobsmith]

don't think so, commandreporter.exe runs reports - but not the built in ones.

 

however I wouldn't want to automate this anyway - cover is done by someone and that someone should just press the export when they are happy that it's ready for public consumption - you don't want it being published as they are halfway through working on it.

Very true!

We publish the cover page on the intranet for staff (when the cover manager remembers to click the export button) but sanitize some of the information as we use a php page to call and parse the html one
