On this page

Under Programs you find, rename, and delete programs, and see on which displays each one runs. A program that still runs on a display can't be deleted.

Steps

Find a program

Open Programs. Each card shows a preview of the base program, the name, the number of program entries, and on how many displays the program runs, for example running on 3 displays. With many programs, type in Search programs ….

Rename a program

  1. Open the program.
  2. Click the name at the top and type the new one. It is saved when you leave the field, and the portal confirms with Saved.

See where a program runs

In the editor, the Runs on card lists every display that runs the program, whether assigned or as an override. Each entry links to the display. You change the assignment on the display, not in the program, see Assign a program to a display.

The Runs on card in the sidebar of the program editor: it lists every display on which the program runs, each entry a link to the display's record (1)

Delete a program

  1. Open the menu (⋯) on the card and choose Delete.
  2. Confirm Really delete? with Delete permanently. The portal confirms with Program deleted.

The program list with a card's open menu (⋯) offering Open and Delete (1), the prompt “Really delete?” with the Delete permanently button at the bottom of another card (2), and the two numbers on a card: program entries and displays on which the program runs (3)

If the program still runs on a display, the portal refuses with This program still runs on at least one device. Assign something else to those devices first, then it can be deleted. The Runs on card shows which displays. If a display runs the program as an override, end the override there first.

Check the result

The card shows the new name, or the deleted program is gone. Who created, changed, or deleted a program, and when, is recorded in the change log.

If something goes wrong

Symptom Cause Solution
This program still runs on at least one device. A display still runs the program, assigned or as an override. Assign something else to the displays in Runs on, or end the override, see Show something else now, such as an urgent notice.
