My Content Channel is the publishing tool for content managers that enables a content manager (editor) to publish messages on the go using a mobile or a laptop. Contents including text and images, videos or documents (PDF) can be published to a single screen or to multiple screens using My Content Channel app. My Content Channel app includes advanced features for content managers such as scheduling, adjustable display time etc.

Click the icon and Choose this app


Set the CONFIGURATION in place:

  1. Name the app in a descriptive manner.


    - If your Display is showing Title name the app with reference to context.
    - If your Displays is in the Full-screen mode the App's name will not be seen on the screen so you'll have more freedom in naming the app


  2. Theme

    The theme defines colours and fonts the App is using.


  3.  Logo for upload page 
    Upload your company's logo to the My Content publication tool.



  4.  Channel name

     This name is visible in the content management tool. Use a descriptive name as it will help you to publish to right audiences.



    If the publisher manages several displays /display groups this name is shown on the tool on a drop-down list:

    All content managers can select an identifying colour for the My Content Channels. This helps to keep track of what channel is being edited if a content manager is in charge of multiple My content channels.

    uploading material with  + and repeating as many times as needed. 
    Please do not use group emails.

    After SAVE ALL a personal publication link is sent automatically to the content manager.

    All links are sent from no-reply@valota.live 
    Check the Spam folder if you cannot find the link.


  6.   Company logo for posts
