Manage deployment

Data, "content", is downloaded onto the device. Periodically the application will check for updates. If offline mode is enabled then the assets will be downloaded to the device, if it isn't then the assets will be loaded via an external URL.

Every 10 minutes the application will look for deployment data update where the timestamp is different. If it is it will update the data.

Manage deployment (external)

This allows you to manage the deployment on the cloud solution.

Note only an admin will have access to this.

Debug

This brings up the deployment object in full to be debugged. This is the easiest to read on Windows.

Chrome developer tools will show the deployment object in an easier-to-read dialog on Mac. Windows

Sync data from server

This will manually look for a deployment with a new timestamp. It compares deployment.meta.lastUpdated.timestamp with the cloud version against the local version. If the timestamps are different then the new object will be downloaded onto the device.

Offline Mode

If toggling on:

1. The system will bypass the timestamp check and force a download of new data

2. It will loop over each asset and download the asset to the device

3. It will then reload the page

If you are on a slow internet connection or weak wifi network then you may see a partially downloaded image the first time it is viewed. Not to worry, the next time it is loaded it will appear.

If toggling off:

1. The system will bypass the timestamp check and force a download of new data

2. All assets will be loaded via the web from Google Cloud Platform

3. It will then reload the page

Wipe Data

This will remove all deployment/content data from the device. It will mark the deployment back into setup mode.

This is a destructive action and will require setting up the deployment again
