Menomonie, Wisconsin-based StrandVision Digital Signage has enhanced the core customer administration pages of its digital signage content management system portal to include iconic representations of the different types of page content that can be chosen for display, more responsive administrative management and highly context-specific recommendations for missing or incorrect entries.

The enhancements are intended to make it easier and faster for non-technical administrators and clerical staff to update and maintain StrandVision electronic page content on a day-in and day-out basis, the company said.

The enhancements are in three key areas:

1. Icons – Each category of page content, such as company information, Web-sourced information, database information, videos, etc. are represented by an icon on the design page making it easy to identify and organize content;
2. Page refresh – Changes made to digital signage pages are monitored, reviewed and temporarily saved by the server while they are being made. Once published, all servers are synchronized so administrators can see the new page and make necessary adjustments, which should speed up the process and increase accuracy; and
3. Error detection – StrandVision now offers highly detailed error detection and reporting that automatically identifies input errors and missing information and offers context-specific recommendations on how to address the issue or improve the content being displayed. The system verifies that all of the administrative steps are corrected prior to publishing the changes to the digital signage network.

"We've worked hard to make StrandVision Digital Signage an iconic company to our customers with excellent products, service and support," CEO Mike Strand said in the announcement. "Now we're taking it one step further with an iconic approach to our content development and management. As always, our objective is to make it as easy and efficient as possible for non-technical staff to handle the daily, weekly or monthly management of the StrandVision electronic signage system. These are just another in the long line of improvements that we've made to our customer experience over the last 11 years."
