First Run

After installation, start with the Admin Console. This is where you prepare the content and behavior that will appear on your poster display.

First-run checklist

1. Open PosterFlow Admin.
2. Activate Early Access if prompted.
3. Choose or create your poster library location.
4. Add poster artwork or connect a supported metadata/content source.
5. Review the library grid and confirm posters appear as expected.
6. Open display settings and choose the monitor or display behavior.
7. Customize banners, info bar, brightness, transitions, or layout if desired.
8. Use Push Live or the current display workflow to send the configured experience to the Display Client.

Admin Dashboard

The dashboard is the practical starting point for day-to-day use. It should lead you to library management, schedules, displays, personalization, plugins, and support/update areas.

Library first, display second

If the display screen opens but does not show what you expected, return to the Admin Console and confirm:

• the library contains posters
• the selected mode is correct
• the intended collection or schedule is active
• the correct monitor/display is selected
• the Display Client is running

Good first test

For a first test, keep the setup simple:

1. add a small number of posters
2. confirm they appear in the library
3. start the Display Client on one monitor
4. push the default view live
5. then add schedules, provider mode, or personalization after the basic display works
