Groups: In Pickcel, a 'Group' refers to a collection of users with access to specific modules and their details within an account. The modules include Screens, Media, Compositions, and Schedules, and their visibility is filtered based on the group settings. This means that users belonging to different groups will not be able to view each other's Screens, Media, Compositions, or Schedules, ensuring data privacy and segregation between different user groups.
For e.g.,
Imagine you are the owner of a company with two branches located in Mumbai and Bangalore. To efficiently manage these branches, you appoint two managers to oversee their respective operations. As the owner, you create two sub-user accounts within your company's main admin account. These sub-users will be designated as managers, editors, or operators, based on the roles assigned by the admin.
The sub-users assigned to the Bangalore and Mumbai branches will have access to specific actions as defined by the admin. This ensures they can only perform tasks relevant to their respective roles, promoting efficient and secure management within the organization.
Tags: In Pickcel, a 'Tag' serves as a convenient method to label your screens, media, compositions, or schedules with specific keywords. This enables you to quickly and effortlessly identify and organize them using the same tag. This feature proves to be highly beneficial when dealing with extensive lists of screens, media, or compositions, as it allows you to find related items efficiently based on the assigned tags.
For e.g.,
Imagine you have approximately 100 screens, with half of them located in Bangalore and the other half in Chennai. These screens are all connected to a single account. To efficiently view screens from either Chennai or Bangalore and apply Quickplays to specific sets of screens, you can utilize the tag feature.
By tagging these 50 screens with the name "Bangalore" and the other 50 screens with the name "Chennai," you can easily distinguish between the two groups. Using the filter icon, you can then select either "Chennai" or "Bangalore" to view only the screens associated with that location in the list. The filter remains active until you clear it, allowing you to work seamlessly with specific sets of screens based on their tags.
Custom Attributes: A 'Customer Attribute' is a predefined and unique identifier that enables the filtering of specific data from a large, dynamically updated dataset. These attributes are based on predefined triggers, such as time.
For e.g.,
At each platform of a Bus Station, I have a dedicated screen where I want to display the Bus details for the buses arriving at that specific platform. Considering the large number of buses traveling in total and only a few buses assigned to each station, it is crucial to filter the data and show only the relevant information.
To accomplish this, I will assign a Customer Attribute to each screen, which will be the Platform number. By utilizing this Platform number as the Customer Attribute, I can filter the incoming data from all the traveling buses and display only the information that is specifically relevant to the corresponding platform.
This approach ensures that each screen at the Bus Station shows the Bus details accurately and efficiently, providing passengers with the necessary information for the buses arriving at their designated platforms which dynamically change.
