1. Navigate to https://venus.daktronics.com/ and sign in. If you do not have an account or don't know your information, ask one of the techs or an engineer to create a user profile for you.
2. This is the screen that you will see when you log in. Click on your name in the top right corner, click switch account, and select the school whose sign you want to change. Note: For staff members that have control of the sign's content, this will already be set to whichever school is assigned to their profile.

3. Clicking on the squares in the upper right corner will show this menu. This is where the magic happens. You only need to worry about scheduling and web editor.

• Web Editor: This is where you create the playlists that appear in scheduling.
• Scheduling: This is where you can select the playlist you want and set the time schedule for that playlist.

Web Editor 

1. This is the screen that you will see after selecting Web Editor.
2. Clicking "Add New" will open a box that will allow you to name the presentation as well as select the size. Each school only has one sign outside, so there should only be one size option. Click continue.
3. There are a few different options to choose from when creating a presentation
   •  This will create a text box on the screen.
   • This will allow you to add an image, such as a background image.
   • This will give the option to add the time, date, and temperature. The time/date/temp will change on their own so don't worry that the screen on this page doesn't show the correct values. It will be correct on the sign.
4. After adding these various items, the properties tab on the right side will allow you to change various parts of the item. These properties will change based on whatever object is selected. For example, clicking on a text box that you added to the screen will allow you to change its text in the properties window as seen above
5. The slides tab allow you to add multiple slides to the same presentation. In this tab, you can set the duration of each slide as well.

Scheduling

1. This is the screen that you should see after selecting "Scheduling" from the menu shown above. It shows all of the playlists that have been made for the selected school.
2. Click on a playlist and it will open to this view. Here you can set the playlist's date range, days of the week, and time range. Note: This must be set correctly in order for the conteto appear on the sign
3. To add files to the playlist, click the + sign in the "Media Files" window. You will be able to select the presentations that you have created in Web Editor here. The order in which they appear in the "Media Files" window is the order  they will show on the sign. To change the order, click on the hamburger to the left of the thumbnail and drag to the appropriate location in the queue
4. A display must be added as well. To add the display, click the + sign in the "Display" window and select the sign for your school. You can then close the box that appeared.
5. The last step before the media will appear on the sign is to activate the playlist. In the above photo, you'll see that the playlist is "Inactive". Click on "Inactive" and it will change to active. Save your changes and the playlist should now be ready to display. 

Tip: If you're creating content that will change on a frequent basis, create slides in the same presentation and set a schedule that includes that presentation. This will allow you to only have to change that presentation in Web Editor and never have to touch scheduling.
