Global Settings vs Settings Override
Understanding how to configure settings across your Installation is crucial for efficient management:
Global Settings are the shared configuration applied to all devices within an Installation that defines the common functionality and appearance. These serve as the foundation setup that applies uniformly across multiple devices, eliminating the need to configure each device individually.
Settings Override are configurations that modify or extend Global Settings for individual devices or specific Spaces within an Installation. This allows customization on a more granular basis while maintaining the shared foundation from Global Settings.
Practical Example
Installation Setup:
- "Store Digital Signage" Installation deployed across all locations
- Global Settings: Brand colors, logos, and core functionality
- Settings Override: Store-specific contact info and operating hours
How It Works:
- All devices receive the same brand colors and logos from Global Settings
- Individual Spaces or devices can override contact information and hours without affecting branding
- Changes to Global Settings automatically apply to all devices
- Settings Override only affects specific Spaces or devices where customization is needed
